Exclusive Spicy and Sour Lemon Chicken Feet

Chicken feet are poached, cooled and bathed in a bright marinade of lemon, garlic and bird's-eye chili, yielding a tangy, fiery snack that only improves as it sits.

Instructions

    Chicken feet should be bought fresh, trim off the nails, soak them for a while, and wash clean.

    I cut each one into three pieces.

    Pour cold water into the pot, add a little cooking wine, bring to a boil, and skim off the foam.

    Prepare ginger slices, tied-up scallions, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns.

    Place clean water in a small clean basin. I used purified water, and it's best if there are ice cubes. I used an ice pack. Put the cooked chicken feet into the ice water and soak for one hour.

    I also added a little bit of chili powder. If you don’t like spicy food, you can skip it. I put it in directly for health reasons, but you can also heat the chili powder in hot oil.

    Place lemon slices on top.
