Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals while in China that he loves chicken feet, has craved it for years
Giannis Antetokounmpo is always eating something.
It's not out of the norm for the Milwaukee Bucks superstar to come to a postgame press conference with a bucket of chicken as he talks to reporters. And when Antetokounmpo has sat out games, he sometimes can be spotted with a bag of Skittles and carton of popcorn. Oh, and Oreos are never far from Giannis, who recently bought a candy company with his brothers. Heck, he even brought a plate of spaghetti to Bucks media day last year.
But perhaps, the Bucks support staff can provide him with some chicken feet for the 2023-24 season.
Yes, chicken feet.
Antetokounmpo revealed in an interview with Chinese press during his recent visit to China that this particular food is one of his favorites. He posted the interview on his Instagram account last week with the text "I need me some chicken feet" with feet and laughing-face emojis.
"I love chicken feet," Antetokounmpo said when asked by one of the hosts if he's ever tried chicken feet.
The hosts were seemingly shocked when they heard Antetokounmpo's response. He wasn't kidding.
"Hey, man, hey, I love chicken feet," Antetokounmpo said, almost trying to convince them. "I came here in 2018 and I tried for the first time chicken feet. A little bit spicy. For five years, I've been craving chicken feet."
Antetokounmpo said the texture of the chicken feet, which consists of tissues and tendons and no muscles, is the best part.
"I love it," he said, his mouth seemingly already watering.
Chicken feet can be served as a snack, in soup or as a main dish in China.

He told the hosts that, the next time they're in Beijing, they have to bring him this dish.
Antetokounmpo even had them each pinky swear and kissed their pinkies to seal the deal.
"Next time," he reminded them.
