Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken feet, cleaned
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, sliced
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 dried chili pepper
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Method
 

  1. Clean chicken feet thoroughly. Trim the nails. Blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  2. Heat oil in a wok or deep pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the chicken feet and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add garlic, ginger, star anise, and dried chili. Stir-fry 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil.
  4. Return chicken feet to the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and braise for 45-60 minutes until tender and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve as an appetizer or side dish.
