Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Clean the 1.5 lb chicken feet thoroughly, trimming any nails, and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the 3 tbsp red curry paste, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes, then add the chicken feet and stir to coat with the paste.
