Prepare chicken feet
To clean the chicken feet, wash them with water. Then, soak the chicken feet in diluted lemon water for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Next, you cut off the nails and cut the chicken feet in half for easier eating, then wash them again with water and let them drain.
Tips for cleaning chicken feet, no fishy smell:
- To eliminate the fishy smell of chicken feet, after purchasing, you can rub them with salt, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- You can soak them in water mixed with 15 grams of baking soda and 15ml of rice vinegar for about 15 – 20 minutes. This soaking will remove any remaining dirt and help the chicken feet soften faster when cooked.
- Additionally, you should boil or stir-fry the chicken feet before cooking the soup to reduce the smell.
