Cooked chicken legs in sauce
Chicken feet are more commonly found on the shelves of pet shops than on our plates, even though they are a particularly important source of calogen. Calogen is essential for the formation of connective tissues in the human musculoskeletal system. It also maintains the elasticity of the skin, preventing the appearance of wrinkles. So it's definitely worth eating them!
What do they taste like? If you like pig's feet, you'll love chicken feet. They are particularly loved and eaten by people in Asian countries. If possible, I recommend that you choose the legs of domestic hens, as they are bigger and even tastier.
