Organic Chicken Feet
Add our Chickens feet to bones and carcasses to make stocks, soups, broths and Asian street-food - part of our offal range
If you haven't tried cooking with them before, give our organic chicken feet a go and prepare for a revelation. Chicken feet are considered a real delicacy in many Asian cuisines. They're widely used to produce stocks, broths and soups, but they can also be slow-cooked or fried and served whole as a snack or appetizer. If you plan to use them for stock, throw in an organic chicken carcass, too, to create a fantastically flavoursome and nutritious broth.

Offal is something we don't make full enough use of in western cookery. But here at Coombe Farm Organic, we're firm advocates of head-to-hoof eating and that includes some bits you may not find immediately appetising. Chicken feet aren't the meatiest of cuts, but they're full of connective tissue that contributes a big whack of flavour.
Our organic chicken feet are available in 500g packs and come undressed, with the yellow membranes and talons intact. You should ensure you scrub them thoroughly before use.
- Supplied: Insulated box at -18°C
- Freezing: Will arrive frozen, use by best before date on packaging
- Defrosted: Store between 0 - 5°C and use within 3-5 days

Freezing is the most natural way of preserving food. And as here at Coombe Farm Organic we believe in slow-grown, healthy food, a form of preservation that doesn’t need artificial additives gets a big tick from us.
We use blast freezing to preserve all of our meat products. It’s done at the point of butchery, to temperatures of -26°C. This locks in all the freshness, flavour and nutritional value and means you get the longest possible shelf life at home once you’ve defrosted it.
It also guarantees it will arrive with you in tiptop condition - confidently delivering fresh meat would be much more challenging.
-
The poultry we sell has been organically reared they are free-range in smaller flocks than other birds, when the animal is ready it is slaughtered and butchered on the farm it was reared on so not to overstress the birds.
You will find any product ingredients on the relevant product pages.

Clearly, a chicken foot is bony, so it’s the skin and connective tissues that make the eating. In Asian cultures from China to Korea, the Philippines to Malaysia, chicken feet crop up as a street-food staple. Essentially they act as a vehicle for other flavours and sauces in which they’re marinated and that can be sucked or nibbled off the bones and skin once the feet have been grilled or fried. They’re popular ‘beer snacks’: a salty treat eaten with drinks in the way we’d eat pork scratchings.
The other most widespread use for chicken feet is in soups, stews and curries. Slow cooking tenderises the sinews and tissues, with the gelatin contained in the joints acting as a natural thickener for sauces and gravies. Many Kosher recipes for the famed Jewish chicken soup contain feet as a key ingredient, and Mexico, Jamaica and Malaysia also include spicy chicken foot soups in their culinary repertoires.
To give them a try, clean your chicken feet by scrubbing with salt then briefly boiling to soften the skin. Cut off the sharp nails and peel off the top layer of skin. Return the feet to a pot of boiling water and boil for 5 to 10 minutes before draining. Add a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, chillies, ginger, garlic, spring onions and Chinese five spice. Boil until the liquid creates a syrupy coating on the chicken feet. Then tuck in! Chew, nibble, suck and gnaw on the skin and bones of the chicken feet to get at the tasty sauce and the flavour of the feet. Served with cold beers, these will certainly create a stir at your next party.

I have made one batch of excellent jelly with the feet. They were far better quality than any I have used before. A range of sizes and every sign that the birds had lived natural lives.

Both our dogs crunched the chicken feet with great gusto. The feet looked very funny, as if the dogs had devoured the whole chicken and the feed were just disappearing down their gullets.

These add so much to soups, broths, etc but are difficult to clean and prepare. If they were offered prepared (at a higher price, I realise), it would be perfect These add so much to soups, broths, etc but are difficult to clean and prepare.

I regularly make my own stock for soups, gravies and sauces. Chicken feet add that extra umph for me, hence the reason they find their way into my stockpot and Coombe Farm offers the best :) I regularly make my own stock for soups, gravies and sauces.

I have ordered the chicken feet several times as they make the absolute best gelatinous broth. Only thing to note is if you order large quantities they come in huge bags which can be a lot to clean and sort.
