Anyone need a chicken neck?

See, a broiled chicken neck is one of the things that you put on the seder plate. And the Butcherie sells chicken necks by the pound. I got the smallest thing of 'em that I could find. But I'm going to use one for the seder plate, and maybe another one or two for soup, and that leaves like a dozen. Anyone want one, or ten?

Chicken necks are small enough for cats to eat (whole and raw), and make up the bulk of our cats' diet currently because they significantly prefer them to the fresh frozen food we insist on giving them to make sure they're getting a little vegetable matter. Which is why I would never, ever consider actually eating one myself. ;)

ummm you might want to rethink this.
Chicken necks will splinter when chewed. They're small and could get lodged in your pet's throat.

Besides, chicken necks are delicious when properly prepared. Not exactly filet mignon, but definitely tasty AND they are VERY low in fat (read NONE)

Cooked bones are brittle and will splinter, but raw bones are edible and relatively safe. They do pose a choking hazard, but no moreso than kibble.
