Cooking Tips:

Proper Cleaning of Chicken Feet

Ensure you thoroughly clean the chicken feet by removing the nails and any remaining skin. This step is crucial for both hygiene and to enhance the absorption of the marinade flavors. Wash them under running water and pat dry before seasoning and frying.

Balancing Flavors in the Sauce

When adding the root beer, taste the sauce to ensure it balances the sweetness with the savory elements of soy sauce and vinegar. If it’s too sweet, you can add a bit more soy sauce or vinegar to adjust the flavor. Remember, the sauce will reduce and intensify, so aim for a balanced taste during the simmering process.

Achieving Perfect Tenderness

Simmer the chicken feet slowly for at least 45 minutes to ensure they become tender and flavorful. The low and slow cooking process allows the feet to absorb the sauce fully, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture. If the sauce reduces too quickly, add a bit more water to maintain the moisture.
