Recipe of the day April 8 - Chinese Chicken

Chinese Chicken

FEEDS: 2

WHAT YOUÂLL NEED:

Â 2 T. canola oil

Â 2 t. Five Spice Powder

Â 1 T. Soy sauce

Â 2 chicken legs and thighs

Â 2 chicken wings

LET'S COOK

Mix the oil, five spice powder and soy sauce in a bowl. Add the chicken, toss it all together well to evenly coat the chicken, cover and allow to sit for at least 3 hours. Overnight is certainly best for better flavor distribution.

When itÂs time to cook, heat a grill to a medium setting.

Cook the chicken low and slow, turning frequently to insure even cooking and less burning. This will take about 15 - 20 minutes. Serve hot or cold.

MORE IDEAS:

This flavor formula will also work well with chicken breasts.

Any idea what spices are in the 5 spice powder? I have never heard of it.

You should be able to find Chinese 5 spice powder in the Asian aisle of your grocery store, but by googling 5 spice powder ingredients, there were numerous recipes. Here is one for you:

Ingredients

* 3 tablespoons cinnamon
* 6 star anise or 2 teaspoons anise seeds
* 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
* 1 1/2 teaspoons szechuan peppercorns or whole black peppercorns
* 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in blender or coffee grinder. Blend until finely ground.

Store in airtight container. Keeps up to 2 months.

I'm not much for mixing fruit with meats... But I have a bag of really sour green grapes that none of us can eat...makes your mouth pucker... So I think I'm going to make a grape salad with them...hope that'll sweeten them up enough that they don't go to waste.

Thanks. I really wanted to try it but guess it is out for me. I have severe breathing reactions from anise seeds.

Thanks for looking up the ingredients. I should have thought of doing that, but didn't
