  Preliminary processing and bone removal from chicken feet

  After purchasing the chicken feet, cut off the nails, wash the chicken feet thoroughly, and let them drain.

  To remove the bones from the chicken feet, use a sharp knife with a pointed tip to make a cut along the toes.

  Next, make a horizontal cut at the joint near the toes, from that joint, cut straight down and cut through the cartilage, now you just have to bend the bone of the chicken feet apart.

  For the toes, gently use the knife to pry the bone away from the skin.

  After removing the bones, cut the chicken feet into bite-sized pieces.

  Quick method for bone removal from chicken feet:

  • You should prepare a bowl of water, when you find the chicken feet slippery, rinse them to avoid cutting your hands.

  • To make it easier to remove the bones from the chicken feet, cut the chicken feet in half at the joint, then briefly boil the chicken feet first.
  • Use a knife to cut vertical lines on the toes, then use your index finger and thumb to push the skin at the tip of the chicken foot down to expose the bone joint, gradually peel the skin away, bending the bone joints while keeping the tendons intact.
