Chicken feet are often used for the delicious broth in soups and cooking in our local restaurant.
when I was a kid, I went to the meat market with my grandaddy. He purchased 2 chickens which were for some reason back then hanging by their feet, gutted but still had their heads on too. The butcher bam hacked off the head then another bam chopped off the feet and tossed them both on the scrap pile. My grandaddy said what about the feet? The butcher said you want feet? Then piled a grocery bags worth of feet in Newspaper, wrapped it up and we took them home. I don’t remember eating them as my momma did all the cooking for both families as well as my cousins family who lived on the other side of us.
