If your chicken feet are not dried completely, then the oil might sparkle out. Remember to use a long chop sticker to turn the chicken feet and cover your lid. If you did not divide the chicken feet into two parts, then deep fry them in small batches and add slightly more oil. Just make sure that they are well deep-fried.
