8 pig feet, split
1 onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
0.75 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 tablespoon chopped garlic

Rinse pig's feet thoroughly under cold water and place them in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add onion, celery, vinegar, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, garlic, black pepper, and bay leaves. Pour in enough water to completely cover the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Braise until the pork becomes tender and easily separates from the bones, approximately 2 hours.
