Giving the term 'chicken legs' a whole new meaning 🍗 These Expensive Thunder-Thighed “Dragon Chickens” Are A Staple Dish In Vietnam’s Lunar New Year
I do and personally, I feel that chicken is such a universal food since every corner of the globe has their own methods of preparing it.
However, regardless of your opinion on poultry-based dishes, I’m willing to bet that most people have never seen chickens like these and it might give you a whole new perspective on the classic insult of referring to someone as “chicken legs”.chicken, also referred to as a ‘Dragon Chicken’. This breed of chickens are a delicacy among the elite of Vietnam who feast on these thunder-thighed mothercluckers during Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year.
Hien, who’s been a chicken breeder for over fifteen years, sold off his prized bird that weighed about 4kg for US$150. That being said, there have been instances of people paying 10 times that amount for larger chickens.As for how these chickens taste, the meat of a Dong Tao chicken is said to be rather tough and chewy in texture while being low in fat. Typically, it is boiled, fried, stewed or served with lemongrass.
Moreover, the skin of the chickens’ legs are known to be particularly tasty. One customer of Hien claimed that, “The bigger the legs are, the tastier .”
