Savory Sweet Soy Chicken Feet (Ceker Ayam Kecap Manis)

Ingredients

• 10 chicken feet
• 4 shallots
• 3 cloves of garlic
• Oyster sauce, to taste
• Granulated sugar, to taste
• Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), to taste
• Chicken bouillon powder (Royco), to taste
• Water, as needed

Instructions

1. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chicken feet. Place them in a pot and bring to a boil, then simmer until the feet are tender. This may take some time, so use this opportunity to prepare the remaining ingredients.

2. While the chicken feet are cooking, finely chop the shallots and garlic. Once the chicken feet are tender, drain them and set aside.

3. In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil and sauté the chopped shallots and garlic until they release a fragrant aroma.

4. Add the oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, and chicken bouillon powder to the pan. Stir the mixture well and cook until the aroma of the sauce fills your kitchen.

5. Pour in enough water to create a flavorful sauce. Stir and taste, adjusting the sweetness with granulated sugar if necessary.

6. Add the cooked chicken feet to the sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes so that the flavors meld together. Be sure to check the seasoning and adjust as needed.

7. Once the chicken feet are well-coated with the sauce and have absorbed the flavors, remove from heat.

8. Serve hot and enjoy the rich, sweet, and savory flavors of this delightful dish.
