Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Clean the Chicken Feet
Rinse the chicken feet thoroughly under cold running water.
Trim off the nails using kitchen shears if necessary.
Place them into a large pot with:
- Water
- Salt
- Vinegar
- Ginger slices
Bring everything to a boil.
Cook for 5 minutes to remove impurities.
Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2: Simmer Until Tender
Return the cleaned chicken feet to the pot.
Cover with fresh water.
Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook for 45–60 minutes, or until the chicken feet are soft but still hold their shape.
Drain well and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sticky Sauce
Heat the sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat.
Add:
- Minced garlic
- Grated ginger
Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant.
Add:
- Light soy sauce
- Dark soy sauce
- Oyster sauce
- Honey
- Black pepper
- Chili flakes
- Chicken broth
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Allow it to cook for 3–5 minutes, letting the flavors blend together.
Step 4: Coat the Chicken Feet
Add the cooked chicken feet to the sauce.
Gently toss until each piece is completely coated.
Continue cooking over medium-low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
As the sauce reduces, it will become thick, glossy, and beautifully sticky.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Transfer the chicken feet to a serving platter.
Sprinkle with:
- Chopped green onions
- Fresh red chili slices
- Toasted sesame seeds
Serve immediately while hot.
