Cleaning The Chicken Feet
Is important that you clean the chicken feet.
Chop off all the nails, you don’t want that in your cooking especially if you are feeding children.
And it nails sticking out does not look good on a plate.
You must also remove the skin. This is vert thin but once you start removing it, it will easily peel off of the feet.
Once that done, wash the feet with vinegar and lime or lemon juice.
