Anyway, I’m happy cooking this dish with drumlets. It is easy to cook yet so tasty and good with rice. I believe it is good also with blanched noodles [wantan noodles or any fresh noodles].

Hi Kimmy, I believe this dish must be very flavoursome, especially with those spices you put in. Loved it.
Kimmy, I would prefer the chicken drumlets too. Not really fond of chicken feet except in kerabu hee..hee...
Hi Kimmy,
This dish is so flavourful! I like chicken drumlets too.
Hi Veronica, this is awesome, delish and I like the taste very much.
Hi Phong Hong, I dare not try the phoenix claws in kerabu but I was told they are crunchy and good with the sauce.
Hi Karen, chicken drumlets is a good option compared to whole chicken wings. Less fats and more healthy, lol...
Hi Kimmy,
I love chicken feet, though I would never fry them at home, they will splatter the whole kitchen! I tried it once before. So now I always buy them already fried from the market! Your dish with chicken drumlets looks delicious, so perfect with a plate of rice! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Joyce, yes definitely easier to buy the ready fried chicken feet for this dish. I have to substitute it with chicken wings of drumlets cos' chicken feet is a No-No for me..hehehe! My friends love braised fried chicken feet, so I never fight with them for it.
