A woman has set a new world record for eating the most chicken feet in one minute.

Vuyolwethu Simanile of South Africa was apparently quiet and unassuming as she approached the task, leaving people in shock as she set the new, impressive milestone.

She chomped through a whopping 4.26 ounces (121g) of feet in 60 seconds to accomplish the impressive feat.

Chicken feet are regarded as a delicacy in parts of South-east Asia.

Vuyolwethu beat away the challenges of four other foot-eaters in the battle for the crown.

Heralding from the township of Umlazi, in Durban, South Africa, taking on the others in Mashamplanes Lounge, a shisa nyama restaurant and bar in her home city.

A Zulu phrase, shisa nyama means "burn meat".

It sees food cooked by putting it over flamed coals and is a popular and communal way of eating.

According to the Guinness World Records which officially recognised Vuyolwethu’s achievement, “it’s about eating, drinking and dancing together; it’s about friendship and soul.”

Her chicken-eating conquest aired on e.tv’s Stumbo Record Breakers, a show that looks at people pushing what is possible to the limit and, apparently in this case, beyond.

Each participant was initially given 300g of chicken feet in a bowl, with competitors only allowed to eat one foot at a time.

Each of the five contestants is understood to have taken different approaches, however – some tried to force the feet down while others took a more measured and strategic approach.

Vuyolwethu took the second option, taking a calm and collected approach to the battle, putting away foot after foot.

The gelatine-like feet soon slowed people who came out of the blocks too fast, and instead, it was those who went at it with a slower and more methodical approach that did better.

The remaining plates were weighed, leaving her as the clear winner.
