Eat the comb or feet?

[nicalandia]

I use the combs, heads, feet, necks, hearts, livers, etc to make broth with.

My wife loves the feet, I like the hearts and Livers but I have never even entertained eating the combs/wattles/head.

I love the livers as well! I usually toss the heads after I'm done making broth or feed them to our dogs.

Chicken feet are great scalded, degloved, and then deep fried.

Probably a silly question, do they taste like fried chicken?

This may come as a shock.... but yes. Yes they do.

@Banana01, hope to see an update!

I've used feet for broth (getting the skin off was an ordeal, though, but I'm going to try a different method) and it's fantastic, but am particularly interested in how using the combs turns out.

Do they even have any meat on them? Or do you just eat them whole, bone and all?

They have a little meat on them. No you don't eat the bones lol.

I have a freezer full of mixed breeds, so I don't eat the head or inner parts, but I use the feet for soup stock. I like the taste of Thai style soups like Tom Yum Gai. I keep a bag of lime in my ice box and I grow my own red peppers, galangal, Genovese basil and lemon grass. I prefer the taste of Italian basil instead of Thai basil. All of the raw ingredients grow well on Oahu, so I make do with what I have.
