Braised Chicken Feet 凤爪

'Like it', 'hate it'-which group do you belongs to? 

Some people couldn't stand the sight of it, others swore by it. In case you haven't tried it, those are chicken feet being deep fried, cooked in the water until soft and the skin become puffy, then steamed in spicy bean sauce until the seasoning goes deep into the bones. To me, it taste fantastic. A fear factor or not, you got to decide yourself!
