Soft chicken cartilage is a by-product that we get when we have our chicken produced at the Bostock Brothers farm in New Zealand hence the very low price and the simple packaging. Soft chicken cartilage, also known as Hiza Nankotsu in Japan and guaranteed to be found in almost every Yakitori restaurant or Japanese Izakaya is usually prepared with starch and then deep-fried until crispy. It's like eating the crunchy stuff at the end of a chicken wing. This dish is best served with sprinkles of lemon and cold beer.
