How to prepare chicken feet without fishy smell
- To remove the fishy smell of chicken feet, massage them with salt and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- You can soak the chicken feet in water with 15gr baking soda and 15ml rice vinegar for 15-20 minutes. This will help remove dirt and make them softer when cooked.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken Feet
- Chicken feet should be purchased from reputable stores that ensure food safety and hygiene.
- Choose chicken feet that are naturally pinkish-white, without any unusual spots of different colors such as green, red, or yellow.
- Avoid purchasing chicken feet that feel slimy or have strange liquid oozing out.
- Water-injected chicken feet look uniform and plump, with taut toes. Normal chicken feet are smaller and less attractive, with curved toes.
- There are two types of chicken feet: those from native chickens and those from commercial chickens. Commercial chicken feet are more popular because they have more meat and are convenient for boneless chicken feet dishes.
- You can buy pre-boned chicken feet or bone them yourself at home!
These two simple recipes create an incredibly flavorful dish. Don’t hesitate to try them! Dien may XANH wishes you success!
