Are Chicken Legs Healthy to Eat?
Most people
use the term “chicken legs” interchangeably with “chicken drumsticks”. The obvious example is eating buffalo wings,
drum stick style.
And this
post avoids the usual debate about white meat vs dark meat when it comes to
chicken.
This post is
about the real thing, like chicken legs with feet on the end of them.
Anybody can
probably prepare, cook, and eat drumsticks be they from chickens or frogs or
rabbits, for examples. Just use the conventional food safety ideas about temperatures.
Nope, I just
want to know how to cook and eat chicken legs with feet on the end of
them. Since I have seen them offered in
grocery stores in rural South Carolina, I know people eat them or something
like that. And being from rural Tennessee, even I know people still eat
scrambled eggs and pig’s brains. And
that is not a delicacy, but more like a staple at breakfast, even with the fear
of prions and mad cow disease.
So back to
chicken legs with feet on the end of them.
First when one does an Internet search try using the term “chicken feet”,
and it turns out a lot more people than those in rural South Carolina, USA, eat
chicken feet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_feet
And here are
some recipes (there are many out there):
What’s next,
rat tails. I always thought my father (born 1917 in the USA) was making it up,
but now I am not so sure anymore.
