Here is my version of a spicy chicken foot recipe. The black bean sauce is delicious and goes beautifully with plain rice. Go on, be brave!

1 kg chicken feet, nails chopped off
2 cm root ginger, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
0.5 red chilli cut in thin slivers (or some dried chilli crushed)
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
3 tbsp Chinese black beans, rinsed
1 tbsp sugar
700 ml water
1 handful finely chopped spring onions or sesame seeds to sprinkle over as a garnish
1 dash sunflower oil

Fry the chicken feet in the oil until browned. You will find that there is a lot of splattering of hot oil during this stage so it’s best to use a high sided pan. You may need to do this in stages, a few feet at a time as they will need to touch the bottom of the pan to brown. Once cooked, set the feet aside.
In the same pan fry the garlic, ginger and chilli until aromatic.
Return the chicken feet to the pan and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, black beans, sugar and water. Bring to the boil, then let it simmer with the lid on for around 45 minutes. Next, remove the lid and continue to simmer for a further 15 minutes to reduce the sauce a little.
The chicken feet should be wonderfully soft and chewy by this time. Serve garnished with some finely chopped spring onions or some sesame seeds sprinkled over the top.
