Chicken feet can be eaten as a snack or side dish with rice. There are many dishes created from chicken feet, such as firecracker claws, soy sauce claws, satay claws, claw soup, and many more. The soft texture and savory taste of claws makes many people love to eat them.
Apart from being delicious, claws are also often consumed because they contain a number of benefits that are good for the body. Reporting from healthline.com, claws contain quite high levels of collagen which is good for healthy bones, muscles and skin, you know.
However, many people are reluctant to cook their own claws at home. The reason is, the processing process must be completely clean, so that the claws are not easily sticky or slimy when served later. One trick is to boil the claws with vinegar, so that the results are firm and don't stick easily.
Apart from that, the owner of the TikTok account @tetymughni has a different trick for processing claws so they don't become sticky and slimy. He explained that the trick he usually practices only requires one type of leaf, so that the resulting claws are not only rough clean, but also smell good.

After washing, put the claws in a pan, fill with water until all the claws are submerged, then boil over medium stove heat. The process of boiling the claws is carried out for several minutes until it boils. The owner of the TikTok account @tetymughni said that the claws will also release residual dirt which will rise to the surface of the cooking water when it boils later.

After boiling until boiling, continue to rinse the claws again until they are completely clean. "We rinse the water 5 times," emphasized the owner of the TikTok account @tetymughni, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (10/7). Then, the claws can be given more water to go through the second boiling process.
