  Method 1: After cleaning, soak the chicken feet in diluted lemon juice to remove the odor. After soaking in lemon juice, rinse with water and then cut the chicken feet in half.

  Method 2: Soak the chicken feet in a mixture of diluted salt water, add a small piece of ginger, and soak for about 15 – 20 minutes. Remove and rinse with clean water before cooking.
