Ingredients
For Simmering:
1 pound chicken feet
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 stick cinnamon
For Deep-Frying and to Serve:
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour salt
1 quart oil for deep-frying
Sea salt, for serving
Directions
Clip the toenails from the chicken feet and wash the feet, removing calluses and any loose-hanging skin. Place the chicken feet in a 2-quart sauté pan and add enough water to cover. Add all simmering ingredients to pan and bring water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until feet are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove feet from cooking liquid, which can be reserved for another purpose. Allow feet to cool. Whisk eggs and flour/salt mixture in a medium bowl. Dip feet into batter, shaking off excess flour. If needed, dip the feet twice, to ensure they're fully coated. In a wok, bring 1 quart oil to 375 degrees F . Add feet in batches and deep-fry until batter is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Have a lid ready in the event of splattering oil. Serve immediately, adding a sprinkling of sea salt if needed. .
