What to do with chicken heads & feet?
I'm cooking up 4 silkie chickens for dinner tonight -- they're tiny, about a pound each. They also come with their heads and feet attached. I'm roasting the birds themselves, but what should I do with the heads and feet? Any suggestions appreciated!

Chicken heads are BBQ'd and sold as street food in the Philippines and the feet are used in soup to thicken the stock.

Frankly, killing an animal and not using all the useable part, that is gross.
Or dry the feet and make a necklace.
Okay. /snark off.
The stock suggestions. Or simmer the feet with a soy orange, lemon, ansise sauce for a couple of hours. and eat the gelatinous stuff from the feet.
Feet are a good source of collagen for stock.
