Chicken feet how do you cook those exactly? 😂

[Parront]

We are not butchering today after all. Hubby woke with a crick in his neck. Looks like tomorrow. Glad to know those feet can be frozen since we will probably be exhausted after cleaning 10 birds.

I always freeze them for later when I want to make soup stock. Usually when the weather is colder! Too hot right now to even run the crock pot or pressure cooker!

Here was my thoughts and experiences with Prepping using feet for stock.

Good luck with processing day!

Very good article.

I make stock so rich you can actually slice it when cold. I actually have to dilute it to cook rice in it. The batches with the chicken feet in them are the very best.

Yes mine is often quite gelled! Do you ever can yours? Freezer space is a precious commodity here and it’s convenient to pop open a liquid can. I have found after pressure canning, the broth doesn’t gel the same. I’d love to know if it breaks down the collagen to the point that it isn’t providing the same benefit?

No, I don't own a pressure canner and have never canned anything but fruit, tomatoes, jams, and pickles.

it was YOU! and 3KBs. I'll remember next time. Thanks for jumping in here with the answer.

I can cut my stock with a knife, too (OK, my wife's stock - she insists on doing most of the cooking and all the baking. I grill, smoke, pickle, brine, pan sear, and make gravy Everything else is her, and she's damned good at it). But we don't use the feet, so ours cuts like cool (but not cold) butter.

Even without the feet mine comes out like Jello.

It's obvious to me that the feet make a difference. I've clearly seen that in the different batches I've made. But not all of us use the same ratio of water to chicken parts, let alone the same parts. Not all of us use the same method of making broth. Some use parts from those really young Cornish X versus much older dual purpose chickens. It's no surprise to me that we get different results. I get different results between my different batches but it is all good.

I put the crock pot on the back patio. No reason to cook inside at all. Stinks up the neighborhood so good!
