When we were groceries shopping last weekend, we also came across some fried chicken feet. Ben and I like braised chicken feet like those found in Dim Sum restaurant. So, I bought a pack to try to make it at home.
The pack of chicken feet (about 8 pairs) cost less than $3.00. At Dim Sum restaurant, a plate of 4 to 5 chicken feet will cost you $2.50 to $3.00.
Ingredients
- 8 pairs chicken feet
- 12 medium-sized dried shittake mushrooms (whole) soaked to soften

Ben & Suanne,

Chicken feet, the little bits of meet between the claws… so good!
