Instructions

Fry, braise, steam(1h 25m)

Blanch chicken feet in boiling water with vinegar, pat dry. Deep-fry at 350°F 5-7 min until golden and puffed. Plunge into ice water immediately — the skin will wrinkle beautifully. Marinate with soy, black beans, garlic, and oyster sauce. Steam 45 min until the skin is gelatinously tender.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

The ice water plunge after frying creates the signature wrinkled 'phoenix claw' texture. Don't skip it.
