Chicken feet are praised for their health benefits, which are mostly attributed to their high collagen content. Chicken feet consist mostly of connective tissue — skin, cartilage, tendons, and bones. However, they’re still quite nutritious and deliver a fair amount of vitamins and minerals. Their fat content mostly comes from the skin, which is usually removed for cooking. However, chicken feet are often deep-fried or served with sauce, which may significantly increase their carb, fat, and calorie content.

A serving of 2 chicken feet (70 grams) provides

• Calories: 150
• Protein: 14 grams
• Fat: 10 grams
• Carbs: 0.14 grams
• Calcium: 5% of the Daily Value (DV)
• Phosphorous: 5% of the DV
• Vitamin A: 2% of the DV
• Folate (vitamin B9): 15% of the DV

About 70% of their total protein content is collagen, a structural protein that provides shape, strength, and resistance to your skin, tendons, muscles, bones, and ligaments

Chicken feet are also a good source of folate (vitamin B9), which aids DNA synthesis and helps prevent birth abnormalities.
