Spicy Grilled Chicken Feet Salad
Grilled chicken feet tossed in a Thai dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and dried chili, finished with shallot, cilantro, mint and roasted rice powder. Sticky, charred and gelatinous in texture, the salad delivers sour-hot-funky Isaan flavours over crisp raw vegetables, eaten with sticky rice on the side.
