How to make Guyanese tasty split peas soup with chicken foot an😜🤗😍.

chicken feet

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken wings

Skinless thighs provide lean protein while wings are more affordable.

split peas

🥗Healthier: lentils

💰Cheaper: dried beans

Lentils are high in protein and cook faster; beans are budget-friendly.

Rinse split peas under cold water until water runs clear.

Soak split peas in water for at least 2 hours, then drain.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add oil.

Sauté chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken feet to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Stir in chopped carrot, celery, and bell pepper; cook for 3-4 minutes.

Add soaked split peas, water, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes.

Check the consistency, adding more water if necessary; stir occasionally.

Once split peas are tender, remove chicken feet and set aside to cool.

Shred the meat from the chicken feet and return it to the soup.

Add salt, lime juice, and scotch bonnet pepper; simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
