Poultry

Whole Foot

Whole chicken feet include the full foot structure for braising and stock—sometimes sold with a bit of lower leg. Thorough cleaning is mandatory. Collagen content is extraordinarily high for the weight. Scrub, blanch, and cook long in master stock or spicy braising liquid. Serve as a snack with chilli and vinegar, or keep purely for broth body. Freeze extras; they take little space and transform thin stocks.
