Chicken feet are a part of the chicken that is eaten in Chinese, Korean, Trinidadian, Jamaican, South African, Peruvian, Dominican, Mexican, Filipino, Middle Eastern and Vietnamese cuisines. Most of the edible tissue on the feet consists of skin and tendons, with no muscle. This gives the feet a distinct texture different from the rest of the chicken's meat. Its many small bones make it difficult to eat for some; these are often picked before serving. Being mostly skin, chicken feet are very gelatinous.

Famous quotes containing the words chicken and/or feet:
“Sometimes I lifted a chicken that warn’t roosting comfortable, and took him along. Pap always said, take a chicken when you get a chance, because if you don’t want him yourself you can easy find somebody that does, and a good deed ain’t ever forgot. I never see papa when he didn’t want the chicken himself, but that is what he used to say, anyway.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Their feet are heavy on the floor
And their eyes are burning.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
