Why do Chinese people love chicken feet? #coolchina

At a snack shop in China, a British journalist asks a CGTN reporter one very honest question: why do Chinese people love chicken feet so much? Known in China as "phoenix claws," chicken feet are loved less for the meat and more for their chewy, bouncy texture. The conversation turns into a lighthearted look at food culture, where Chinese diners may focus more on mouthfeel, while Western diners often react first to how food looks. #coolchina
