2 Ways to Make Delicious and Attractive Fried Chicken Feet with Fish Sauce Easily at Home

Prepare chicken feet

Wash the chicken feet with diluted salt water and a little vinegar to remove the slime as well as the unpleasant smell. Cut off the nails and then chop the chicken feet in half.

Put a pot on the stove, bring water to a boil, and blanch the chicken feet for about 3 minutes, then remove them.

Coating with tapioca flour

Place the chicken feet in a wide-mouth cylindrical plastic container to coat with tapioca flour. Layer the chicken feet in the container, sprinkle tapioca flour on top, and then repeat with the next layer.

Finally, cover the lid and shake with both hands to ensure the tapioca flour adheres evenly to the chicken feet without clumping.

Frying the chicken feet

Heat a pan on the stove and add a bit of cooking oil. Heat the oil until hot, then gradually add the coated chicken feet to fry. Lower the heat to medium and fry until the chicken feet are golden and crispy without burning.

Once the chicken feet are fried, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil, so they won’t feel greasy when eaten.

Making the sauce

The recipe for the dipping sauce for fried chicken feet is as follows:

• Minced chili
• Minced garlic
• Sugar: 1 tablespoon
• Fish sauce: 2 tablespoons
• Seasoning powder: 1/2 tablespoon
• Black pepper: 1/2 tablespoon
• Chili sauce: 1 tablespoon
• Cool boiled water: 1/4 cup

Stir well to dissolve the sugar to obtain a mixed sauce.

Completion

Place a clean pot on the stove. Add the chicken feet, turn on the heat to warm it up, then drizzle the sauce on top. Keep the heat medium, stir evenly so the sauce absorbs well into the chicken feet. After about 3 minutes, you can transfer the chicken feet to a plate and enjoy.
