Chicken Feet Adobo

Whenever we go to the market, I always ask Claire what she wants Mommy to get and to cook for her, without fail, she always requests for "Chicken Feet". This dish is her all time favorite and will gladly have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She eats it with rice but would sometimes get her hands dirty and grab it with her fingers and eat away.
