🐥 I'll pass on the recipe.

Just wash them well (I would soak them in cold water for a few hours), remove the "toenails" with kitchen shears and cook like any bones/meat for soup

I am a city girl and never bought chicken feet before. But I keep hearing what great soup they make. So here I am with a bag of chicken feet/paws and have no idea what to do with them. They have this bright yellow wrinkly skin on them as well as toes. ugh...any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'd love to help but I'm too busy retching and gagging !

@SharkE I saw those movies too 😋

@summerwind I can make bone broth from them. From what I’m seeing online, you boil them, peel the skin off and cut off the nails (some leave the nails now) but not me. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But I bought them and I’m going to do this. I just hope I don’t get queasy 😳

@SandPiper, I'm sure it'll add lots of flavor and nutrition to your broth. Not that I'd try it myself at this point, but I'd be interested in how the experience/taste works for you. Never know when someone else's knowledge/experience can be passed on.

At least it's a thread that belongs in Kitchen LOL

Ham hocks are good in dutch oven of northern beans after beans are cooked, remove the hocks, can eat the pork from the hock and put in beans.

@SandPiper, having given it some thought, I bet they do help a very flavorful broth!  And we don't always skin chicken, and even eat it, so I would guess maybe you don't have to skin the feet? Wish I could remember where I saw that.

Skin adds a lot of flavor to broths ands soups, so I wouldn't skin them... then you can refrigerate your broth, and if there is a lot of fat accumulated on the top, just remove it
