Asian Grilled Five-Spice Chicken




GRILLED FIVE-SPICE CHICKEN

Hankering for something different that your tired-baked chicken? Well that was what I was feeling a few days ago and decided to search the net for something different. I found this Vietnamese recipe and thought that I would try it out. Although I had to bake it in the oven (it's winter) I was very pleased with its results. I'm sure that if grilled, it would be even better. It is well worth a try. Serve with rice.
And no, the sexual pose of the chicken should not enter your perverted desire to make this delicious dish. lol

1 Whole Chicken

Marinade:

3 TBS veggie oil
2 TBS soy sauce
3 TBS minced ginger
2 TBS minced garlic
2 TBS sugar
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
½ tsp sea salt
4 whole star ansi, lightly toasted in a dry pan for 3 minutes, pounded or ground into a fine powder

Pierce the chicken all over, marinade chicken for 1 -4 hours. Grill or bake in oven until done.
