Ever since a health coach, told me about making bone broth with chicken feet, I tried it and have been hooked ever since! Chicken feet have an incredible amount of collagen and gelatin in them! I do love the beef bone broth also, but I love the taste of the chicken bone broth even more!
To buy your organic chicken feet, I would order them online, that is what I do! There are several farms that will ship to you. Below are a few I listed, but you can search the internet for more and read about the farm and how they raise their chickens. I always choose pasture raised, organic.
When you prepare bone broth at home using animals that graze on pesticide-free land, you're incorporating essential trace minerals into your diet. These minerals are crucial nutrients that support our body's functions.

Making your own bone broth is cost effective & easy, however it is a bit of a process. It is not for everyone, but for those who want to enjoy this amazing beverage and all the benefits from your own home, but don’t want to make it, then I highly suggest buying homemade frozen bone broth from sources like Pete’s Paleo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use chicken feet for bone broth?
Chicken feet are mostly skin, cartilage, and connective tissue, which makes them one of the richest natural sources of collagen you can add to a pot. They give bone broth a thick, gelatin-rich body that sets firm in the fridge, and they are inexpensive. Combined with other bones, they make an especially collagen-dense broth.
How much collagen do chicken feet add to broth?
Chicken feet noticeably boost the collagen and gelatin in a broth, though the exact amount depends on how many you use and how long you simmer. Because homemade broth is never a fixed dose, a scoop of grass-fed collagen peptides is an easy way to add a consistent 10 to 20g on top. Yonder collagen is flavorless, so it blends into broth without changing the taste.
Will bone broth break a fast?
Yes. Traditional bone broth has protein, fat, and calories, so it will break a strict water fast. Many people still sip it during a gentler fast because it is warm and nourishing, but for a strict fast it does count as breaking it.
