The breading to coat the chicken feet is much easier to make. Simply mix all the spices with flour to make a flavorful nice crust for every piece. After the making the breading and dredging the chicken feet, drop them into the hot oil and watch them turn crispy and golden brown! Yummy!

As mentioned, the main ingredient for the buffalo sauce is hot sauce. But us Filipinos really love ketchup, right? Let’s add a bit of ketchup and some brown sugar just enough to tickle our taste buds. Coat your crispy chicken feet or use the buffalo sauce as a dipping sauce and you’re good to go!
