- Prioritize buying chicken feet that are naturally pinkish-white, feel firm to the touch, have firm skin, and good elasticity.
- Fresh chicken feet will usually feel dry to the touch, the four toes will curl inwards, and will only puff up when pressed firmly.
- Do not buy chicken feet that are unusually puffy and plump, as these may have been injected with water and will not taste good.
- Additionally, you should not buy chicken feet with deformities, lumps, or blood clots. These are usually from low-quality chickens.
How to Cook Lemongrass and Kaffir Lime Marinated Chicken Feet

1. Preparing the Chicken Feet
Cleanly trim the nails of the chicken feet. Then, soak the chicken feet in 1 teaspoon of salt and 6 cups of diluted water (rice bowls), then rinse thoroughly with water to remove dirt and impurities. Drain in a colander.
Tip: You can cut the chicken feet in half or into smaller pieces according to your preference.

2. Preparing Other Ingredients
Peel the ginger and lemongrass, wash them with water, and drain. Once the ginger and lemongrass are dry, slice them thinly.
Remove the stems from the kaffir limes and chilies, rinse briefly with water. Slice the chilies thinly and cut the kaffir limes in half.

3. Boiling the Chicken Feet
Bring about 1 liter of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3 slices of ginger to a boil in a pot over medium heat for about 2 minutes until the water boils and becomes fragrant.
Add the prepared chicken feet and boil over low heat for 15-20 minutes until tender. Then, transfer the chicken feet to an ice bath for about 5 minutes to cool them down and make them crispier.
Tip:- To keep the chicken feet looking nice, remove any foam that rises to the surface while boiling.
- To ensure the chicken feet are cooked evenly, stir them frequently!

4. Making the Marinade
Combine the following ingredients in a pot: 1 cup sugar, 1 cup rice vinegar, 1 cup fish sauce, and 2 cups water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat for about 4 minutes until it boils and slightly thickens. Adjust the seasoning to your liking and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Tip:- Use rice bowls for measuring ingredients for accuracy!
- To preserve the marinade longer, skim off excess foam while cooking!

5. Marinating the Chicken Feet
Combine the boiled chicken feet, ginger, kaffir limes, lemongrass, and remaining chilies. Pour in the cooled marinade.
