Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken feet
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cups water
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chicken feet by soaking them in hot water for 5 minutes, then use a small knife to trim the nails and remove any yellow outer skin.
Place the cleaned chicken feet in a pot, cover them with 2 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Let them simmer for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the ginger and garlic cloves.
In a large pan or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the glaze begins to slightly thicken.
Add the boiled chicken feet to the pan, ensuring they are coated evenly in the glaze. Turn the heat to low and let them simmer, covered, for 40-45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even coating.
After 45 minutes, uncover the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the glaze to reduce further, coating the chicken feet in a glossy sheen. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Chop the scallions into thin slices and sprinkle them over the chicken feet before removing them from the heat.
Transfer the glazed chicken feet to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional scallions if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish alongside steamed rice or noodles.
