Chinese Spicy Braised Chicken Feet

静

Chicken feet are one of those foods that people either enjoy or absolutely refuse to eat. Somewhat surprisingly, my first chicken feet recipe is one of the most popular and most searched recipes on My Chinese Home Kitchen. In fact, chicken feet are delicious after proper processing and cooking. I am one of those people who like to eat chicken feet.

Cooking spicy braised chicken feet is simple, but time consuming. First, we blanch the chicken feet, adding ginger slices, green onions, and cooking wine to remove the “fishy” smell of chicken feet. After we blanch the chicken feet, we will saute some garlic and hot, spicy xiaomila peppers to create a basic taste for the chicken feet when we brown them. Finally, the chicken feet are simmered. After a long time of cooking, the chicken feet will become soft and glutinous, and you can easily remove the bones of the chicken feet when you eat them. You will taste the chicken feet full of garlic and spicy flavor.
