Deep-Fried Chicken Feet Recipe
- 1 pound (450g) chicken feet
- 1 teaspoon (4g) kosher salt, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15g) sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup flour (about 4 1/2 ounces; 128g) mixed with 1 teaspoon (4g) salt
- 1 quart (900ml) oil for deep-frying
- Sea salt, for serving
- Clip the toenails from the chicken feet and wash the feet, removing calluses and any loose-hanging skin.
- Place the chicken feet in a 2-quart saute pan and add enough water to cover. Add all simmering ingredients to pan and bring water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until feet are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Remove feet from cooking liquid, which can be reserved for another purpose. Allow feet to cool.
- Whisk eggs and flour/salt mixture in a medium bowl. Dip feet into batter, shaking off excess flour. If needed, dip the feet twice, to ensure they're fully coated.
- In a wok, bring 1 quart (900ml) oil to 375u0b0F (190u0b0C). Add feet in batches and deep-fry until batter is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Have a lid ready in the event of splattering oil. Serve immediately, adding a sprinkling of sea salt if needed. (Alternatively, you can skip the batter and fry the feet plain. Dress with more soy sauce and chili oil, as desired.)
