Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken feet
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 whole scallions
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken feet. Using kitchen shears, trim the nails off each chicken foot and any excess skin if needed. Rinse thoroughly under cold water.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chicken feet and let them blanch for 5 minutes. This process helps remove any impurities. Drain and rinse the chicken feet with cold water. Set aside.
Heat a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the whole garlic cloves and ginger slices. Stir fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the star anise and cinnamon stick to the skillet, stirring to release their aroma for about 1 minute.
Carefully add the blanched chicken feet to the skillet. Stir to coat with the aromatic oil.
Pour in the coconut aminos, chicken broth, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the chicken feet braise for 75-90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken feet are tender and the sauce has thickened, stir in the sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Slice the scallions finely and sprinkle them over the braised chicken feet before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful keto-friendly dish.
