After purchasing chicken feet, chop off the nails, then wash them thoroughly with diluted mosquito water containing a small piece of ginger. Let the chicken feet soak in the diluted mosquito water solution for about 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
Bring a pot of water to boil, add another piece of ginger, then put all the chicken feet in and boil. Boil until the water is boiling, then remove the chicken feet and immediately immerse them in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 15 minutes to make the chicken feet crispy.
Discard the old boiling water, pour in fresh cold water, and add the chicken feet to boil over medium heat. Cook for about 20 minutes until the chicken feet are cooked through.
Remove the chicken feet and immediately put them into a solution of water mixed with sour salt (ratio about 5g of sour salt per 1 liter of water), then gently wash the chicken feet clean, removing all the stickiness, then rinse them again with clean water to remove any remaining sourness. The process of making delicious salted chicken feet is quite meticulous to achieve the whitest, crispiest, and most delicious salted chicken feet.
Next, place the chicken feet in a container or wrap them in cling film, and put them in the freezer for about 3 to 4 hours. This step makes the chicken feet crispier.
– Step 2: Prepare the soaking solution for the chicken feet
While waiting for the chicken feet to chill, you will prepare the soaking solution for them.
Mix a pot of water in the following ratio: 400ml water + 400ml vinegar + 200g sugar + 20g salt. Then, bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, add lemongrass, chili, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, a few spicy chilies (depending on your preference for spiciness), and 1 teaspoon of crushed peppercorns. Stir well. Finally, turn off the heat, remove the pot from the stove, and let the mixture cool completely.
– Step 3: Soak the chicken feet
Remove the chicken feet from the fridge, place them in a glass jar along with lemongrass and chili. Then pour the prepared vinegar and sugar mixture over them until the chicken feet are submerged. Add half a tablespoon of white wine to the jar for fragrance, then cover tightly and let it sit in a cool place for about 2 to 3 days before consuming.
If you prefer the cold taste like at the restaurant, soak the entire jar of chicken feet in the fridge for about 1 day before serving.
Salted chicken feet offer a refreshing, crispy texture, combined with various flavors of sour, spicy, sweet, and salty, making them very enticing. When serving, remember to prepare an additional plate of salt and pepper mixed with lime juice, along with a few thinly sliced lime leaves for a fuller flavor experience.
