How important is it to get all the skin off chicken feet before simmering to make broth?
I'm going to strain it, so i'm not worried about scales/particulate matter. I just don't know if there's something in the skin/scales that may affect the flavor.
I had saved several feet and want to make broth today. They didn't get skinned when i processed the birds, so i got a small pot of water boiling and submerged them. The feet are certainly hot to my hands but the scales are still not 'slipping' off as I expected. They've been boiled so they should be pretty clean, and i've gotten most of the outer layer off. I want to give up and just put them in the pot with the other bones i've accumulated, but i don't want to ruin it bec i'm too lazy to clean some toes.
