Dong Tao

Dong Tao, also known as "Dragon's Claw Chicken," is a rare and unique breed of chicken native to Vietnam. Recognized for its distinctively thick, scaly legs that resemble those of a dragon, it is prized not only for its unusual appearance but also for its high-quality meat, which is tender and flavorful. Traditionally raised in small numbers, Dong Tao chickens are considered a delicacy in Vietnamese cuisine, often served during special occasions or festivities. Their rarity and special farming practices contribute to their higher market value compared to more common chicken breeds.
