How long to cook the chicken feet <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can adjust the cooking time of chicken feet. If you want a chewier texture, cook the for 8 minutes. If you want a softer version, cook for 12 to 15 minutes. However don’t overcook them, otherwise, the skin and shape will be destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer a super chew version, 5 minutes are enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
