The surface and incision of raw chicken feet contain dirt such as blood clots, so the raw chicken feet should be cleaned first. In mass production in factories, 1.5%(w/w) sodium bicarbonate solution at 40℃ is often used and cleaned for 40 minutes. Rinse the cleaned chicken feet with 0.2% (w/w) acetic acid solution at room temperature for 40 minutes. After washing and rinsing, the chicken feet are even in color, white and shiny [1].

If it is homemade, you can soak it in clear water with appropriate amount of onion ginger, cooking wine or 10% beer for 3-4 hours. This can not only remove the odor, but also make the boneless chicken feet more crisp and tender, and the color more white [2].
