Okay..I have made chicken stock many, many times before...but I have never added chicken feet ..... I am making stock with a stewing hen...and decided to make it with chicken feet as well this time.... I got a package of them at the Asian market yesterday..and they have about 18 of them in there... My question is this...how many is too many to add? Do I add all of them? or just a few to get the benefits of them?

Try maybe six of them... they can make a stock gelatinous sometimes.

My mother and her sister still like to occasionally tease my grandmother about the time she made Chicken Foot Soup. She put too many chicken feet in the kettle, and she tried to serve the soup *with the feet*. It gelled, and had those still identifiable chicken feet in there, wiggling. They raised chickens at the time and knew what chickens stepped in. Nobody would eat the soup.
I have a perverse desire to try to duplicate it, but I don't have a lot of details...
Best regards, Bob

ROFL!
My brother's philosphy is similar- "I don't want to eat anything that's walked through chicken sh*t."

Considering that when most people made stock using whole chickens they used perhaps 1 or 2 chickens, I would think 2 or 4 feet would do. Freeze the rest. -- Thierry Gerbault

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't make stock with chickens feet and vegetables only if you want to. Certainly chook feet as an ingredient would be OK. The next trick to learn is how to make the feet crispy so that you can eat them - rather like pigskin. Remember to nip off the claws before you start eating

There's an outer layer of skin on the feeties that pulls off just like a glove. And you DO wash them before cooking, donchaknow? <grin>.

Q: Is there any nutritional value in it? A: No, he doesn't eat it.

I've had both chicken feet and duck feet in a pricey Chinese restaurant before (Hong Kong Flower Lounge). Both were good, although I liked the chicken feet more.
