Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken feet
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 20 grams ginger
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 2 whole star anise
• 500 milliliters chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 units green onions
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning the chicken feet thoroughly. Trim the nails and any rough skin from the feet, washing them under cold running water. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the ginger into thin pieces and peel the garlic cloves. Lightly crush the garlic to release its flavor.

Step 3

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chicken feet and blanch for about 5 minutes to remove any impurities. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Using the same pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced ginger and crushed garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and incorporate soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar into the pot, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Add the blanched chicken feet back into the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the feet are mostly submerged.

Step 7

Add star anise, black peppercorns, and salt to the pot. Stir gently to mix all ingredients.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chicken feet simmer for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours or until they become tender and flavorful.

Step 9

Once cooked, turn off the heat and let them sit in the sauce for an additional 15 minutes to absorb more flavors.

Step 10

Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the braised chicken feet before serving.
