How it's used

This term is the polite or culinary name for chicken feet, specifically when served in a restaurant setting. Using the literal term 雞爪 in a restaurant would sound slightly crude or overly clinical, as if you were referring to the raw ingredient rather than the prepared dish.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with raw chicken feet sold at a wet market, which are referred to as 雞腳 or 雞爪. Using 鳳爪 to describe the raw, uncleaned feet in a butcher shop would be incorrect.
