Do you know that eating chicken feet is beneficial to your body?
In some parts of the globe, eating chicken feet may be gross but in the Philippines it is one of the most popular street foods.
Different provinces in the country have their own unique way of cooking that specific part of the chicken. In streets, definitely it would be barbecue or “adidas” while in households, it could be fried, adobo or with sauce.
Eating the parts of the chicken which are used in walking and in finding food may not be a good idea in other western culture but several countries in Asia do not mind it.
It may not be known to many but eating chicken feet has health benefits.

There is one article that supports the claim that eating chicken feet is beneficial in having beautiful skin.
