Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
Deep fry the goose feet until skin puffs.
Remove the goose feet from oil. Remove the vegetable oil from wok and reheat the wok on high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, black mushrooms, and the goose feet. Sprinkle wine over and continue to stir for 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and cook until broth is boiling. Turn heat to medium low and simmer for 1 hour.
