Spicy Chicken Feet
INGREDIENTS
Sake ½ cup
Water 1/3 cup
Fresh ginger 6 slices
Soy sauce 1/3 cup
Granulated sugar ¼ cup
Dried hot chiles, crushed 2 chilies
Oyster sauce 2 tablespoons
Hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons
Star anise buds 2 buds
Cinnamon stick 1 stick
Scallion cut in 1-inch pieces 1 cup
Minced scallion 2 tablespoons
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish 1 teaspoon
LET'S GET COOKING!
Rub chicken feet with kosher salt and let stand for 10 minutes, rinse in cold water.
Place feet into a pot of rapidly boiling salted water, blanch for 5 minutes and drain well. Chicken feet can be set aside and refrigerated for a day until you need to cook further.
Place a saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and dry-sear to lightly brown. Add the remaining ingredients (except the garnish) and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, for about 10 minutes.
Uncover, and simmer until pan is almost dry, tossing frequently to coat the feet as the sauce reduces.
Serve and garnish with scallion shavings and toasted sesame seeds.
