Instructions

Cut off all the nails from the chicken feet and scrub the chicken clean with water.

Once all the scum comes out, drain and rinses clean.

Notes

It can be a long process to clean and prepare the chicken feet, but luckily it freezes well so that you can prepare in bulk. Chicken feet can last in the fridge for one week and stay in the freezer for three months in an airtight container. Chicken feet are often enjoyed straight from the refrigerator with a glass of ice-cold beer, but if the braise becomes gelatine-like, heat it in the microwave for 1 minute, and the chicken feet will be ready to enjoy.
