4 eggs, separated
2/3 cup white sugar
7/8 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups simple syrup
8 pairs of chicken feet
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Chop claws off chicken feet and wash well. Blanch in boiling water for one minute. Drain well. Chop into two sections and fry until golden brown, then soak in simple syrup until puffy. Set aside.
Line two 17" x 12" baking sheets with baking parchment. Fit large pastry bag with a plain 1/2-inch round tube. Place egg whites in bowl and beat on high until soft peaks start to form. Slowly add 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and continue beating until mixture is stiff and glossy. In another bowl, beat egg yolks and remaining sugar. Whip until thick and very pale in color. Sift flour and baking powder together on a sheet of wax paper. Fold half the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Fols in flour, and then add the remaining egg whites. Transfer mixture to pastry bag, and pipe out onto greased baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and insert chicken feet pieces lengthwise (like finger bones). Let cool and serve.
