Scrub chicken feet with lime, cutting off the tips and rinsing thoroughly.

Boil chicken feet in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour until tender.

Blend shadow benny, celery, and one pimento pepper with a little water.

Add salt to the boiling chicken feet and pour in some of the blended mixture for extra flavor.

Prepare all other ingredients while the chicken is boiling: chop shadow benny, garlic, peppers, and cucumbers.

Peel cucumbers if desired for a contrasting color.

Once chicken is cooked, drain and rinse several times to remove grease.

In a separate bowl, combine water with all prepared ingredients, including the blended mixture, garlic, peppers, onions, and cucumbers.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring well.

Add the boiled chicken feet to the mixture, cover, and set aside for 3-4 hours to marinate.
