Chicken Feet Dim Sum style - How to Make Authentic Restaurant-style Chicken Feet (紫金凤爪)

Follow
Chinese Cooking Demystified

Dim Sum style chicken feet, a.k.a. Feng Zhua or Pheonix Claws a dish that's definitely a bit on the complex side but more than tasty to make up for it.

We do the Dim Sum restaurantstyle steaming method for these chicken feet instead of the braising method that's popular online lengthy steaming ensures tender, falloffthebone chicken while still preserving its puffy skin. There's three sauces that're most common with chicken feet abalone sauce, black bean sauce, and zijin chili garlic sauce... while all three are popular, we felt the zijin chili garlic variety was perhaps the most 'classic' with that distinctive redish color, so that's the direction we went.
As always, here's the detailed written recipe over on /r/cooking:
