凤爪，就是鸡爪，广东文化中常用“凤”来代替“鸡”一字，一般是把鸡的爪，经过烹制，作为小吃，可以啃半天，吃的满嘴滋味，但没有吃进多少东西，不至于吸收太多。是嘴馋又怕肥的人的好食品。另外，凤爪富含骨胶原，对皮肤美容也很有帮助。

“凤爪”在广东茶楼中一般指的是先炸后炆的色泽红润的鸡爪，上桌前先盛于小碟，装在竹制的蒸笼里面蒸热备售。另有一味白云凤爪，则是采用制作白云猪手的方法来制作的凤爪。而与花生眉豆同炆亦是常见的食制。还有的是以油盐水制的凤爪、以沙姜未制的沙姜凤爪、广东卤水凤爪、盐焗凤爪；更有泰式的去骨酸辣凤爪等等。

Chicken feet are a part of the chicken that is cooked in China, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Moldova, Jamaica, South Africa, Peru, Mexico, Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam. Most of the edible tissue on the feet consists of skin and tendons, with no muscle. This gives the feet a distinct texture different from the rest of the chicken's meat. Their many small bones make them difficult to eat for some; these are often picked before serving. Being mostly skin, chicken feet are very gelatinous.
