Pickled Chicken Feet
Chicken feet is one of those foods that you either love or hate. Many are put off by the slimy texture that chicken feet has when steamed and served hot but these pickled chicken feet are different. Since they are served cold, they have a more springy and rubber like texture instead. They are sweet, tangy, and are one of my favorite snack to have while watching TV.
Chicken feet is a very popular ingredient in Chinese cooking which you can find at most Chinese/Asian grocery stores. Other than cooking them to eat, you can also use them to make stock. The bones, skin and cartilage in chicken feet bring an incredible amount of flavor. They are also relatively cheap at 2.99/lb.

Clipping the nails of our chicken feet is important for a couple reasons. The first being that the nails make it look unappetizing and disgusting to be honest. The second reason is that you do not want to end up eating the nails. They don’t feel or taste good so you are better off getting rid of them. Also, clipping them off was actually quite fun for some reason lol.
An ice bath is incredibly important to ensure the chicken feet are the correct texture. Without the ice bath, they would stay soft, mushy, and not very fun to eat. The ice bath tightens the skin and give it a rubber-like texture which is what we want.
There are a few important reasons why we must boil the chicken feet. Firstly, that is how we are going to be cooking it. 8 minutes is enough and you can tell they are finished when the skin is soft and is separating.

The second reason why we boil the chicken feet is to remove all the scum from the chicken feet. As you can see in this picture, there is a lot of sediment that comes out which we do not want to eat.
After the pickling process is complete, we drench the chicken feet in sweet chili sauce and green onions. The sweet chili sauce is sweet and slightly spicy. You can find this at most grocery stores. Here is the brand I used.
