Chicken feet are very popular in many countries including China, Korea, Philippines, and South Africa. There are many different ways to cook them such as chicken feet soup, bone broth, fried chicken feet, and of course, the most popular dim sum chicken feet – so juicy, tender, and full of flavor!
Traditional chicken feet dim sum is deep-fried before braising. My version is much healthier with no mess or oil wastage.

It’ll be more popular than chicken wings. Yum!
