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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the star anise and cinnamon stick to the skillet, stirring to release their aroma for about 1 minute.
Step 5
Carefully add the blanched chicken feet to the skillet. Stir to coat with the aromatic oil.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut aminos, chicken broth, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once the chicken feet are tender and the sauce has thickened, stir in the sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Slice the scallions finely and sprinkle them over the braised chicken feet before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful keto-friendly dish.
