The lumpy legs of the Dong Tao chicken, named after the commune where it is bred in northern Vietnam, are considered a delicacy and are particularly popular among the wealthy during the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, known as Tet. This breed, also known as ‘dragon chickens’, can fetch up to US$2,000 a head. Its meat is prized for its tough and chewy texture, and is also low in fat. But some consider the best parts to be its chunky “dragon” claws, which beat out “phoenix claws” (regular-size chicken feet) in size
