Five-spice, five-minutes... high five!
I love the Chinese flavours in this recipe, especially the wonderful 5-spice powder. A heady mix of cinnamon, cloves, fennel, Sichuan peppercorns and my favourite; star anise! It doesn't get more authentic in Chinese flavour than that! All that's required is a bit of marination. The longer you can leave it, the better - you won't believe how much flavour can permeate the chicken, just by letting science do its thing for 24 hours. Get organised! Get it done in 5 minutes!
Super easy to cook... Holy sheet (pan)!
