Using Chicken Feet when making Chicken Stock
Christine Dabney
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?

Live it up!! Use all of them. That stock'll wiggle like two pigs
f****** in a burlap bag!

Add em all. Like what'll you do with them otherwise.

Freeze the rest of them to use later on down the road..in making more stock?

That's ok if you believe there'll be no more chickens with feet.

Now *that* reminds me of an old Farside cartoon: the boneless chicken ranch

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."

graciously offered...
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.

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>.

before (Hong Kong Flower Lounge). Both were good, although I liked the
chicken feet more.
