Chicken feet

Hey kiddo! Today, we're going to talk about chicken feet.

So, when we eat a chicken, we usually throw away the feet because we don't really like to eat them. But did you know that chicken feet are actually really important in some cultures?

In places like China, chicken feet are a popular snack! They're cooked in a special way, so they're really tasty. Some people believe that eating chicken feet is good for your health because they contain a lot of collagen, which is good for your skin and joints.

Chicken feet also have bones and tendons that are great for making soup! When you boil chicken feet in water for a long time, the bones and tendons start to break down and make the soup more flavorful.

But be careful, kiddo! Chicken feet can be slippery and might be a little bit hard to eat. Plus, you don't want to accidentally choke on any small bones in the feet.

So, there you have it, chicken feet are like little snacks or flavor-boosters for soup, and some people think they're good for your health too!
