Chicken feet are a scrumptious and flavourful delectable treat that can be cooked as a summertime light meal option or be served as a hearty winter meal with pap.
While many state that this treat is not as appealing to eat, it carries a lot of nutritious benefits that those who consume them are not even aware of. A site created by lovers of food that shares expertise and knowledge – Delishably – states that these benefits include:
- Arthritis: The above-mentioned source states that chicken feet improve blood supply by strengthening the blood vessels. Since chicken feet are “packed with protein, calcium, trace minerals, collagen, and cartilage that are easily absorbed by the body,” means that they inhibit joint pains and promote healthy joint movement.
- Clear complexion: While it remains known that chicken feet contain quite a lot of collagen, it is no secret that collagen is the secret to radiant looking skin. Chicken feet are also rich in hyaluronic acid.
To obtain the above-mentioned benefits and more, Kuhle Jita Mayikana – a Cape Town based digital content creator and entrepreneur – provides us with a delicious and simple recipe.
- For the cleaning process she advises that you:
Soak the chicken feet in water and place 1 cut lemon.
Begin to peel off the yellow layer of the skin.
Soak them again in lemon water for a few minutes.
- To begin the cooking process:
Heat up your pan and put your chicken feet, pour some paprika, onion powder, black pepper and any other preferred herbs of your choice. To your mixture add bay leaves and chicken stock, pour a generous amount of water. Allow them to cook and sit for approximately 90 minutes until they are soft and ready to be served.
