Cookin' with Chris 👨‍🍳

I tried this a couple of weeks ago. Mine did not come out crispy either.
My tip… save the peas… just make some tasty hummus :rofl:

Yep, especially given all the prep!

I bet an air fryer would do the trick, but I’m not ready to open that can of culinary worms.

I thought of that too but, for me… the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.

Flat Bread (-ish)

I wouldn’t call it bread, but it was pretty good for a high-protein, low-carb, flour-free alternative.

Take a cup of cottage cheese, two eggs, and whatever seasoning you want (I went with Italian) and blend them all up. Poor over a parchment-lined 1/4-sheet pan and bake for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

We used it as a kind of wrap/side for some ground beef and pasta sauce. Not totally bread-like, but maybe I needed to cook it for a little longer (cooking in altitude is tricky sometimes).

I have been seeing this on Pinterest, your’s looks pretty thick. I may pick up some cottage cheese to try it.

I’ve seen people use something like this to make carnivore pizzas. An Alfredo style sauce tends to complete the no/low carb approach.

Okay, I lied. I said the crispy chick peas wouldn’t be worth the trouble but… this was delicious!

So, now I am going to try them in my Ninja Foodi air fryer :rofl:

Nice!

I resisted the air fyer fad for several years, then I was gifted a Ninja Foodi.

It is a beast! It is huge in my small kitchen but almost everything I have cooked in it has come out amazing. The sweet potato fries were my only failure. I will take another crack it though.

The recipe I used for these says to drain and rinse, air fry for 5 mins to dry them off and then add the oil and salt, and cook for another 10- 15mins. That seemed to work better.

Finally found again! I have been lookin for this recipe to try in the air fyer.

Baked Chicken Feet

Naturally rich in glucosamine and chondroitin!

Okay, I made these for my dogs, but don’t they look delicious? :grin:

Spray these witch’s claws with a little coconut oil and bake for about an hour at 400 degrees F.

Rather than coconut oil, in order to keep this Witches treat “most fowl”, may I suggest

From Cornhhusker Kitchen: support Nebraska!

This stuff smells AMAZING when it cooks, btw.

Fancy!

Never tried it. But I know the real chefs love it.

It’s an interesting combination of “fancy” and “midwest good 'ol boys” when you get it locally here, haha. It’s carried in hardware stores here.

My granny actually liked chicken feet. Not an inherited trait. I think she boiled them though.

Lucky dogs!

I crunch on anything crispy, like the burnt wing tips or the ends of steak bones. So if they’re crispy, they’re an option. A little toss in garlic butter and they’ll be fine!

Dear God. Could it get any worse?

Yeah, a lot of people love gnawing on these things. And the collagen part would be good for you, for sure. But man, it would be a visceral experience. I’m a big meat eater, but I’d rather not see faces, beaks, or claws! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I don’t know because it was a solid NO from my mom and I. :rofl:
I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw them for the first time in a grocery store in Mississippi. I had no idea other people ate them, just couldn’t get my mind around it.
