So is it Broth or Stock

[bobm]

If you have seen what was on the chicken feet ... that is the same stuff that one puts in your garden as compost or fertilizer, mixes it in with the existing soil, gets it all over ones' hands, shoes, clothes and feet. Oh, and don't forget the addition of worm doo doo and an addition of other micro organisms' as well as insect pests' and beneficial insects 'doo doo . Plants their veggies, trees, etc. and when it is time to harvest eats a test bite or two or three right then and there and then washes the rest of the harvested crop, eats it raw or cooked. So, what is the diference between them except by not using the chicken feet you will be throwing out tons of nutritious broth and/ or stock ? Anything that was once on the chicken legs has been washed off, boiled off several times long before you made a valuable and nutritous food item ! Same thing only more rich and concentrated nutrients than in the store bought packaged stock .

I've heard of people using the chicken fat in place of butter too.

I'd use the feet if it weren't so time consuming to scald and peel them. I'm sure every part of the chicken tastes like chicken.

Try goose fat ( shmulte ? ) sometime ... tastes much better than chicken fat any day of the week. Processing chicken legs may be time consuming, but so worth it !

If you get the scalding right it's not all that time consuming, though it helps to have fingernails and thumbnails. It is real easy to over-scald.

I've never done chicken feet....but duck fat & leaf lard are great stuff.

Stock or broth? I just call it all broth. Simple.

Chickenfeet. I toss to the dogs who "help" me with butchering. I don't have a problem with where their feet have been, they can be washed and scalded, then that layer of where-their-feet-have-been comes off. I keep intending to make broth from the chicken feet, but just haven't yet.

[QUOTEphysranch, post: 205942, member: 1698"]On another forum, we were talking about making bone broth. I've never made it cus I simply could not afford the propane to be on for a day or so. I learned I could try to make some in a crock pot.

Also I didn't know that you have to peel chicken feet before making any stock/broth. The Asian markets in San Jose have them for cheap![/QUOTE]
I use pressure cookers. Cuts down on time immensely.

You don't have to peel them, but since I know where those feet have been, peeling them is the option I choose.
