Giant legs of Vietnam's 'dragon chicken' a Lunar New Year delicacy
- last year
On a farm close to Hanoi, Le Van Hien picks out his best bird among 2,000 'dragon chickens' -- a breed with legs as thick as a brick that can fetch up to $2,000 a head, popular among the wealth during Lunar New Year.
The lumpy legs of the Dong Tao chicken -- named after the commune where they're bred in northern Vietnam -- are considered a delicacy and are a particularly popular dish among the wealthy during Vietnamese new year, known as Tet.
