Step-by-Step Method
Prep the chicken feet
Rinse the chicken feet well. If needed, trim the nail tips with kitchen shears to make handling easier.
Quick blanch
Put the chicken feet in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then drain to remove foam and impurities.
Build the braise
Return the chicken feet to the pot. Add dark soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, scallions, barbecue sauce, sugar, star anise, black pepper, and 1 cup of water.
Simmer gently
Bring to a boil, then lower to a gentle simmer with the lid slightly ajar. Cook for 90 minutes, stirring now and then; add a splash of hot water if it gets too dry.
Reduce and serve
In the last 10 minutes, remove the lid to let the sauce thicken slightly. Remove the star anise if you like, then serve the chicken feet warm with the sauce.
