Spicy Chicken Feet (Dry Method)

By popular demand (Hi Joyce!), this is my yummy recipe for spicy chicken feet. The first time I ever had chicken feet was in grad school. A classmate had me over for a dim sum style meal and had made chicken feet. I distinctly remember them being dry.

The dry part is important, because 10 years of eating Chinese food later, they are the only dry prep chicken feet I've ever had. All the dim sum restaurants I have been to do a wet prep, which is both yummy and sloppy. Well, last weekend, I decided that if I couldn't find a dry prep recipe, I'd make one. Here's the result.

Note: if chicken feet aren't your thing, I bet this would make killer wings

What you need (feet):

1 lb of chicken feet (check your local chinese market, or use wings)

What you need (looing liquid):

4 tbls dark soy sauce

2 Tbls rice wine

3 cups of water

3 spring onions

4 cloves of garlic

4 pieces of star anise

4 slices of ginger

What you need (glazing sauce):

2 Tbls of black bean paste (I like this brand, but don't buy it here. Go to your asian market, it'll be much cheaper.

3 cloves garlic

2 Tbls chinese rice wine

2 tsp sugar

Chiles to taste (I use 1/2 Habanero for spicy but not too spicy)

2 Tbls soy sauce

Dash of sesame oil

1/4 Cup of water

What to do:

First clean your (chicken) feet and clip their nails. Dry 'em too.

Deep fry your feet until golden brown. Mine took 3 minutes at 375.

Drain them well from the oil.

Prepare your looing sauce. Looing is a chinese method of stewing. You can save the liquid for weeks and stew just about any kind of meat (or eggs!) in it. It gets better as you use it more. To begin, smash the garlic and ginger, chop the spring onions into 2 inch lengths, then combine all the ingredients into a pot and bring to a simmer.

Put the feet into the looing liquid and simmer with the top on for 45 minutes. Alternatively you can pressure cook them for 15 minutes - this will give a stronger flavor, but may make the skin more raggedy.

Prepare the glazing sauce. Mince the garlic and chiles.

Heat 2 Tbls of oil in a wok to high heat.

Add the garlic and chiles, cook until fragrant (20-30 seconds).

Add the black bean paste. Stir it so that it starts to get really really fragrant.

Add the wine, sugar, soy, water and sesame oil, stir.

Add in all the feet, toss to cover with the sauce.

Preheat your oven to 400 F.

Cook over medium-high heat, stirring/tossing frequently until the sauce is reduced almost completely. There should be almost no liquid left, everything should be on the feet. This should take maybe 10 minutes.

Extract the feet and put them on a rack over a baking pan. You may want to line the pan with tin foil, as there will be some drippage.

Bake the feet for 15-20 minutes, or until dark red. Don't let them burn.

Extract and let cool. You now have yummy spicy feet!
