TIGER EATS CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet, such as cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with ½ tsp. each salt and pepper. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and set aside.
• Add garlic and shallot to the pan; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, smoked paprika, and the remaining ½ tsp. each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned but still crisp, 6 to 8 minutes (add a little water, if necessary, to prevent scorching). Stir in wine, scraping the pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in broth. If using fresh thyme, tie the sprigs together with butcher's twine or secure in a cheesecloth bag. Add the thyme bundle to the pot, gently pressing into the liquid (or sprinkle in the dried thyme).
• Transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Nestle the chicken into the vegetable mixture and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F and the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs, if using. Stir the vegetables before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the claws off and any dirty part on the chicken feet. And then cut the main large bone off and divide the chicken palm into two parts. If you feel this part too difficult, you can skip it. But you will need more oil in the deep frying process.
• Bring enough water to a boiling in a large pot, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar (to avoid breaking of the skin) and 1/2 teaspoon of rice vinegar (to avoid darkened color). Cook the chicken feet for about 2 minutes. Transfer out and drain completely.
• Add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce and marinate for around 30 minutes.
• Fill one third of a wok or deep frier with oil and heat it over medium heat to 180 C. Add the chicken feet and fry them until golden and dry. If your chicken feet are not completely dried, the oil might sparkle. Remember to use a long chop stick to turn the chicken feet and cover the fryer with a lid. If you did not divide the chicken feet into two parts, then deep fry them in small batches and add
• slightly more oil. Just make sure that they are well deep-fried.
• Transfer the feet to a large bowl with iced water. Soak the chicken feet for 3 to 4 hours to achieve the tiger skin effect.
• To steam: transfer the chicken feet to a steamer. Prepare all the ingredients for the steaming sauce. Steam at first the chicken feet for 15 minutes and then evenly pour on them the steaming sauce. Continue to steam for another 30 to 40 minutes.
• To braise: mix all the ingredients used for steaming with another 1 cup of water. In a deep pan simmer the chicken feet with the sauce for 15 minutes and then turn up the fire to thicken the sauce.
• Serve hot or reheat it for later serving.
