Braised Chicken Feet (Phoenix Claws)
Though they're a dim sum classic, braised chicken feet (A.K.A. phoenix claws) can be a challenge for those unused to eating them.

The Nasty Bits: Lamb Kidneys
By far the smallest kidneys I've had the pleasure of cooking, these lamb kidneys pack a lot of aroma into one small package.

I'm fond of all poultry feet. Goose and duck feet have ample amounts of webbing; when stewed, they are delicate and tender with a hint of chewiness that resembles the texture of simmered sheets of bean curd. While goose and duck feet are more prized in Chinese cuisine, I prefer the meatiness of a chicken's foot.
