Chicken feet are a part of the chicken that is cooked in China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Moldova, Jamaica, South Africa, Peru, Mexico, Philippines and Vietnam. Most of the edible tissue on the feet consists of skin and tendons, with no muscle. This gives the feet a distinct texture different from the rest of the chicken's meat. Their many small bones make them difficult to eat for some[who?]; these are often picked before serving. Being mostly skin, chicken feet are very gelatinous
