Crispy Fried Chicken Feet

This crispy and flavorful Braised Chicken Feet recipe is a must-try for dim sum lovers! Tender chicken feet are first blanched, then deep-fried to golden perfection, creating a unique “tiger skin” texture after soaking in ice water. The magic happens when they’re stir-fried with aromatic ginger, onion, chili, and savory fermented bean paste, then simmered in a rich blend of soy sauce, vinegar, and cooking wine. Steaming locks in the bold flavors, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth dish with a spicy, umami kick. Garnished with scallions and peanuts for extra crunch, this dish is perfect as an appetizer or paired with steamed rice. A restaurant-quality delicacy made easy at home!
