    1. Rinse the chicken feet and drumsticks, cover with water, and let them soak for an hour. Then trim off the nails and peel away the outer membrane if there's any. 2. Transfer the feet and drumsticks to a pot and add water until it just covers the meat. Set the pot over heat. Peel the onion and carrot, add them to the broth along with the spices, and season with salt to taste. As the broth comes to a boil, skim off the foam and reduce the heat to its lowest setting — the aspic should simmer gently so the broth stays clear. Cook, covered, for 3 hours. 3. Strain the broth through a fine sieve or several layers of cheesecloth. Stir in the garlic, minced or pressed. Pull the chicken meat from the bones and skin and arrange it in a mold. Pour the strained broth over the top. Once the aspic has cooled a bit, refrigerate it for several hours until set.
