What is the yellow boot-like covering on the fresh chicken's feet? should it be removed before cooking?!
Answers: It is just a layer of thick skin that protects the tendons of the leg and feet of a chicken , it is considered a delicacy in some Asian and Oriental restaurants, they are stripped and cleaned then boiled or pickled and eaten cold. Most Americans have not experienced this delicacy. I have tried the in a traditional family Chinese meal with jellyfish, and noodles, and duck sausage medallions.... not bad
No Skin??
Ewwwwww, why would you want to cook chicken feet, when any other part of that bird would taste much much better?
I dont have a clue but my mother always soaks it in vinegar and scraps it off with a knife. I personally couldnt eat it if i saw that on there
experiment. eat it cooked and see if you have diarhia.
