  1. 1

    Rinse the pig's feet well under cold water and put them in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion, celery, vinegar, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, garlic, black pepper, and bay leaves, then pour in enough water to cover.

    Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low and braise until the pork is tender and falling off the bones, about 2 hours.
