Chicken Feet 500g — Premium Collagen-Rich Specialty Cut

Chicken Feet are a 500g pack of high-quality, cleaned poultry specialty cuts. While they contain very little muscle meat, they are highly prized in traditional Asian and global cuisines for their unique texture and incredible nutritional density. When cooked, the skin and tendons become soft and gelatinous, creating a rich mouthfeel and deeply savory flavor.

What It Is:

Cleaned & Prepared: Each foot is thoroughly cleaned and prepared, ready for your favorite traditional recipes or for making nutrient-dense stocks.

Texture-Focus: This cut is all about the combination of soft skin and tender tendons. It is the essential ingredient for dishes that require a "melt-in-your-mouth" gelatinous consistency.

Flavor Absorber: Because of their porous nature, chicken feet are exceptional at absorbing the flavors of braising liquids, spices, and aromatics.

500g Convenient Pack: Typically contains 10 to 12 pieces, providing the perfect amount for a large pot of stock or a family-sized dim sum dish.

Nutrition & Wellness Benefits

Chicken feet are considered a functional food in many cultures due to their restorative properties:

Natural Collagen Powerhouse: One of the richest natural sources of collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, hair strength, and joint health.

Joint Support: Contains high levels of glucosamine and chondroitin, which are key nutrients for supporting healthy cartilage and bone density.

Rich Bone Broth Base: When simmered, chicken feet release high amounts of gelatin, giving stocks a thick, silky body and a wealth of trace minerals.

Immune Support: The minerals and amino acids released during slow-cooking are often used in traditional recipes to support general wellness and recovery.

How to Use

Chicken feet require long, slow cooking or steaming to reach their ideal texture:

Traditional Dim Sum (Braised Chicken Feet): Deep-fry the feet briefly to blister the skin, then braise them in a savory sauce of black beans, oyster sauce, and star anise until the skin is puffy and tender.

High-Gelatin Bone Broth: Add 500g of chicken feet to your standard chicken carcass when making soup. It will create a much richer, thicker broth that "gels" when cooled—a sign of high nutrient density.

Spicy Kerabu (Thai-Style Salad): Boil until tender, de-bone (optional), and toss with lime juice, chilies, and onions for a refreshing, chewy, and spicy cold appetizer.

Traditional Herbal Soup: Simmer with peanuts and dried dates to create a classic, nourishing soup that is believed to strengthen the joints.

Tip: If using them for soup, blanch the feet in boiling water for 5 minutes and rinse them under cold water first. This ensures your final broth remains clear and clean-tasting.
