Chicken Foot Bone Broth

Will be back later to share my recipe and post of health and beauty benefits for this nourishing bone broth. Just wanted to upload the pics from my phone first. Don't they look like Dr.Seuss hands-haha!

Okay its later....and I came back to edit the post with my easy recipe below. ENJOY!

 

Yes.....you read that correctly--chicken FEET!  They are NOT just for crossing to the other side of the road. I have recently discovered the blessing and benefit of using chicken feet in my bone broths.I did not include feet in the first recipe that I shared on the benefits of bone broths, because I thought you would be a little..."whah..?"! They do look very wierd when they are still raw  with their littel fingernails. They do resemble the hands of several Dr.Seuss characters. But they are not for looking at. They are for NOURISHING the body!

Adding chicken feet increases the gelatin content in the broth, making it a more nutritious drink or soup. The collagen from the feet is so important for beautiful skin, connective tissue and bone!

So here is the recipe for bone broth using chicken feet

 

1 chicken carcass or small whole organic chicken
1 pile of chicken feet – you don’t have to count or weigh just use what you have on hand. OK – 10 feet!
Vegetables – remember they don’t have to be pretty just throw them in!(My favorite is to add loads of tomatoes,carrots, garlic, onion, and EVERY herb in my garden. You can add kale and greens too for a more mineral rich broth)
4-6 Tablespoons of raw Apple Cider Vinegar

Place the chicken and vegetables in the pot.
Next take each chicken leg and chop the toenails off. Yes you heard that right they must have a pedicure! I must admit it was a little unnerving to chop off the nails, it is not my favorite thing to do, but I love the end result.
Rinse the legs and add them into the pot (minus the toenails)
Add 4-6 Tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar
Add water to 2-3 inches above all of the pieces.
Simmer covered for 24-36 hours.
Strain once through a colander and reserve the meat. Strain again through a fine mesh strainer.
What you will notice about this broth is that it will thicken because of the gelatin and it will be rich in flavor!
Enjoy 4-6 ounces as a health drink every day.
Freeze all unused broth by the 4th day.

I will be sharing more benefits of the miracle super food in the upcoming book. Until then "eat your feet" for beauty!
