Brilio.net - Chicken feet are a favorite part of many people because of their unique texture. Consisting of skin, tendons, and small bones, feet have a chewy sensation when eaten.
Chicken feet can also be served in various dishes such as ceker mercon, crispy, or as a topping for seblak. In addition, feet are easy to get and affordable.
Speaking of feet, eating this food will be more delicious if eaten without bones. Usually, the process of separating the bones is done before the feet are processed into a dish.
However, many people consider this step as a hassle. No wonder, because the feet have a thin layer of meat and a hard texture before being cooked. So many people are reluctant to do it. Moreover, some people are also afraid that the knife used will injure the skin.
But now you don't need to worry anymore, there is a trick that will make it easier to separate the bones and skin of the feet. This method does not even use a knife at all. In addition, the feet that will be cooked are also free from the fishy smell because of certain treatments. This method was shared by the YouTube account Magic Food through a video upload. He seemed to use a spoon.
"I just found out today that removing chicken feet bones is as easy as using a spoon. It's clean, fast," he wrote as quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube/Magic Food, Monday (12/8).

Next, clean the chicken feet from the blood that is still attached. The method is to soak the feet in a solution of water and salt. Then, stir or squeeze so that the blood will come out. This is also useful for removing the fishy smell of the feet.
"Remove dirt and fishy smell from the feet, because the feet often step on the ground so they are dirty," he added.

When the water boils, foam appears to appear on the surface. He scooped up the foam with a spoon, then set it aside. Because, according to him, the foam will make the claws fishy. Then, cook again for 8 minutes.
