Here’s a simple, traditional chicken feet recipe that’s flavorful and tender 🍗
(I’ll keep it clear and beginner-friendly.)
Braised Chicken Feet
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken feet (cleaned, nails trimmed)
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp ginger, sliced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups water or chicken broth
- Optional: chili flakes or chili sauce (for heat)
Instructions
- Clean & blanch
Rinse chicken feet well. Boil in water for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse again. - Sauté aromatics
Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until fragrant. - Add chicken feet
Stir in chicken feet, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and pepper. - Simmer
Add water or broth. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer 45–60 minutes until very tender. - Reduce sauce
Remove lid and simmer 5–10 more minutes to thicken the sauce. - Serve
Serve hot with rice or as a snack/appetizer.
Tips
- The goal is soft, gelatin-rich texture, not crispy meat
- Longer simmer = more tender
- Great source of collagen
