Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare and Season Chicken Feet

Wash and trim the chicken feet, ensuring all nails are removed. In a large bowl, season the chicken feet with salt, black pepper, all-purpose seasoning, jerk seasoning, 2-3 tablespoons of curry powder, green seasoning, finely chopped scallion, fresh thyme, minced garlic, chopped onion, and pimento peppers. Massage all the herbs and spices into the chicken feet thoroughly. This mixture does not require marination and can be cooked immediately.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics and Toast Curry

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add 1-2 tablespoons of curry powder to the pot and toast it with the aromatics for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the curry is fragrant and slightly darker in color. This process 'burns' the curry, igniting its flavors.

Step 3: Cook Chicken Feet

Add the seasoned chicken feet to the pot and mix well, ensuring they are fully coated with the toasted curry and aromatics. Pour in about 4-5 cups of water, or enough to just cover the chicken feet. Cover the pot with a lid and allow it to cook for 35 minutes.

Step 4: Prepare Spinners (Dumplings)

While the chicken feet are cooking, prepare the spinners. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water, kneading until a smooth dough ball forms. Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them between your palms to form small, elongated dumplings (spinners).

Step 5: Add Spinners and Finish Cooking

After 35 minutes of cooking the chicken feet, add the prepared spinners to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate them into the stew. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pimento peppers (or bell peppers) and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the spinners are cooked through and the gravy is thick and gummy.

Step 6: Serve

Once cooked, the curry chicken feet stew is ready to be served. Enjoy this flavorful and collagen-rich dish with white rice or your preferred side.

Pro Tips

Chicken feet are rich in collagen, beneficial for bones, skin, joints, and heart health.

Adjust the amount of jerk seasoning and pimento peppers to control the spice level.

Ensure the curry powder is well-toasted to bring out its full flavor before adding the chicken feet.

Recipe Variations

You can substitute chicken feet with cow feet or pig feet for a similar collagen-rich stew.

Serve with rice and peas, mashed potatoes, or other root vegetables instead of white rice.
