After reading about cooking chicken feet and that it is something that some like, I ran into some discounted feet at my store. I am willing to eat anything once so I bought them and re-read about preparing them, 180F for 24 hours. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/1X/8c86de60bcdba70c210e6b655d3629b53bbb77bf.JPG) The first challenge was that due to the odd shapes, I couldn’t get all the air out. I used two spoons and while the bags still floated, at least all the feet were below the water level. I broke them into two batches and seasoned them differently. One was just salt and pepper and the other was a little Korean BBQ sauce, only as much as coated the feet. At the end I patted them dry and finished them in a 425F oven for a few minutes. That made them look much better. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/1X/0abcb838006e1888dbd94a343b0c702ffc2910dc.JPG) They were pretty good. Although there were small bones, everything else was broken down and had a good flavor and mouth feel. It was an interesting experience. ---

My grandma is obsessed with chicken feet - I’ve only had it only a couple of times growing up. From what I remember, they are very bony, and they didn’t have much meat in them. Were your chicken feet very meaty? ---

No, not meaty at all. From what I can figure it is the cartilage and seasoning that is the reason for eating them. Like eating potato chips, a snack food. I would eat them again if I didn’t have to cook them. ---

Yeah, I think it does well as a snack food. Or even as a something to use as flavor for a stew (which is how I had it). ---
