Hong Kong Weird Snack - Chicken Feet

 The article is from http://www.hulutrip.com/en/hk-news/hong-kong-weird-snack-chicken-feet.html

Chicken feet are the popular snack in Hong Kong. It is so weird and awful that these wrinkled, claw like chicken feet look like something from a witches cauldron. May be you need to take courage to have a try, but once you taste the flavor you will love the chicken feet.

So it looks awful, but once you get over that, what is there not to love about chicken feet? Just like head cheese or coq au vin, Cantonese-style chicken feet is a perfect marriage of thrift and culinary genius. Euphemized as 'phoenix talons' in Chinese, the chicken feet are typically deep fried then stewed in a blackbean sauce. The cartilage softens to a melt-in-the-mouth consistency and great practice is needed to spit out the little bones in that dainty manner perfected by grandmas in dim sum restaurants across town. Lei Garden skips the deep-frying and stews their chicken feet in abalone sauce, resulting in a wholesome, more texturized treat.
