Prepare chicken feet
When you buy chicken feet, if they still have a layer of yellow skin, you should boil water and pour it over those chicken feet. Next, wait for the water to cool down, peel off the yellow skin, and soak the chicken feet in diluted salt water for 10 – 15 minutes.
Finally, rinse them clean with water and let them drain, cutting off the nails. If the chicken feet you bought have already had the yellow skin removed, you just need to soak them in diluted salt water.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken Feet
-
Fresh chicken feet will have a natural pinkish-white color, the bones inside still red, usually have 4 curled toes pointing inward, only when pressed strongly do they stretch out.

Fresh chicken feet are those that do not feel slimy or wet to the touch, are firm in hand, and have a firm skin with good elasticity.
-
Avoid choosing chicken feet that show signs of skin peeling, have deformities, lumps, or blood clots, as these indicate that the chicken is sick.
