Chicken feet was something I felt grossed few years back but for the past few years, I had been introduced to a delicious chicken feet in Ipoh and I had changed my perception about them since then. When I saw this recipe while looking thru recipes book, I had decided to give it a try. Chicken feet was a good and cost effective source for collagen especially for women. It contains high levels of collagen and we all know that collagen is good for maintaining beautiful skin by helping to retain moisture and maintain firmness. Good news for all the women out there, it's not too late to start to like them now.. ;))
