The Best Fried Chicken Feet

I’ve got a lot to say about this Fried Chicken Feet recipe.  First off, if you can get over the creepiness, these really aren’t that bad.  In fact my wife even used the word delicious.  And, as far as Chicken Feet Recipes go, this probably really is the best of the best.

The secret lies in how the feet are prepared.  Though they are fried, to give it that crispy outside texture, they are actually boiled first to make the inside tender.  I borrowed the sauce from my Wasabi Chicken Wings recipe, which I’ve included below, but in all honesty, if you like spice, I highly recommend using the sauce from my Firecracker Shrimp recipe instead.  I’ve included a link for that below as well.

The second thing I would say about Fried Chicken Feet is that there really isn’t a lot of meat, unfortunately.  I think someone would really be ordering or serving these up for the “Awe” effect, because these really are impressive to look at and they make a great conversational piece!

The Best Kalua Pork Roast

If you’re looking to turn a standard Pork Shoulder or Butt Roast(above) into fall off the bone tender Kalua Pork(below), then you’ve come to the right place.  You don’t have to dig a hole in the ground and wrap the roast in banana leaves or burlap, either.  I’m going to show you a simple recipe that can be cooked right in the oven and the results are absolutely incredible.

How to make an Oven Roasted Kalua Pork Roast

This Kalua Pork Roast is unbelievably amazing.  The secret lies in the slow and low method and only two ingredients that give it that authentic fire roasted flavor everyone just devours.  Liquid Smoke and Hawaiian Salt is all you need to take your standard Pork Roast to the next level.  Kosher Salt is the alternative if the other isn’t available to you but there are a ton of other benefits derived from the Hawaiian salt that most people don’t know about and you can read about it HERE.  And believe it or not, it really does effect the flavor and in my opinion its easily twice the difference.  I also like to add a sauce that I partially derived from my Mongolian Beef recipe and it is fantastic over the pork and rice.  Also, Kalua Pork is usually served with Hawaiian Macaroni Salad and my recipe for that is below as well.
