& Brazil 
Produced under the supervision of BRF Chicken Paws, Frozen Chicken Feet. The Chicken feet are only cut and separated from the leg at the ankle. Chicken paws primarily consist of skin, bone, and connective tissues such as cartilage and tendons. They’re actually very nutritious, containing healthy vitamins and minerals, and they’re a rich source of gelatinous collagen.
Due to these nutrient densities in chicken paws/feet, in some countries, they are traditionally considered beneficial for infants’ diets, to promote the development of healthy bones, joints, nails, and skin.

Chicken paw
What are chicken paws?
Chicken paws are the lower parts of the chicken’s body that the animal uses for walking. Chicken paws have a richer, fuller, and deeper flavor profile compared to other parts of the chicken such as the breast. The flavor is often described as meaty and juicy, with a pleasant texture. This is because the paws contain more fat and connective tissue, which contributes to the flavor and juiciness.
However, the actual flavor of chicken paws can vary greatly depending on how they are cooked, and the seasonings or marinades used. They can be seasoned with anything from simple salt and pepper to a variety of herbs and spices, allowing them to be adapted to almost any taste preference.
What are chicken paws used for?
