Instructions to cook chicken feet
Using kitchen shears, cut off the nails from the feet and give them a quick rinse under cold water. Place the feet in a deep pot. Pour in water, soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, and brown sugar. Bring this to a boil, then simmer for 1 hour with a lid, or until the feet are tender and no longer chewy. After 1 hour, drain the braising liquid and let the feet air dry for at least 10 minutes. In a separate pan or wok, gently fry the minced garlic in a shallow amount.
