No, you're not a witchdoctor if you buy chicken feet. They have long been a source of gelatin and minerals in homemade stock. Our chicken feet are cleaned and peeled and ready for use--no preparation needed! There is no hard-and-fast rule on how many feet to use in stock, but I like 1 bag of feet to about 3-4 bags of chicken backs. You can also add chicken feet to beef or pork broth to enhance the gelatin content.
