    I have had chicken feet as well, it's all about the skin and sauce. It's full of collagen, so it's kind of good for you, quite often it's used in chicken broth in North America. They can be done two ways, crunchy skin or soft skin, depending on preference.

    hot pot is really a soup, it's a cooking medium, like fondue. You put in meat and veggies and let them cook in a heavily seasoned broth, and then you pull it out, and it has the flavors of the hot pot.
