Yummm! I'm still eating this meal right now but I had to pause to review this! I cut the recipe in half and marinated the drumsticks for about 3-4 hours, using olive oil since I didn't have peanut oil. The chicken is so tender! It's been a while since I've used five spice powder, and the flavours are just wonderful. Forgot to add - I ended boiling the reserved marinade down on the stove first, before adding it back to the chicken for the rest of the cooking time. This really helped thicken the sauce and made a really nice glaze for the chicken. This'll definitely be made again. Thanks!

Wow, this is delicious chicken. Loved the marinade -- it gave the meat so much flavor and made it deliciously tender. Glad there was plenty to go around as DH over-indulged -- I might have too! Served this dish with some coconut rice and a veggie. Definitely a memorable meal and I will be making this dish again very soon. Made for PRMR, April, 2013.

Simple and tasty, this chicken dish delivers! I used boneless skinless breasts, as I keep them on hand, and marinated for only the minimum time. The flavor comes through, even without a long time for marinating. I will tuck this one away for when I'm short on time. Made for the Best of 2010 tag game. Thanks so much for sharing, Noo!

Yum, sums up this dish very well Noo. What flavor, I used dry sherry and ground my own spices to make a fresh 5 spice powder, otherwise followed the recipe to a T. Made exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. I marinated the chicken for 8 hours. This was so good, the chicken was wonderful, juicy, tender and full of incredible flavors, with a beautiful glaze. It was quick and very easy to make, resulting in a special meal, served with rice and asparagus.

If DH and I could rate this recipe 10 stars, we would! This chicken was incredible! It turned out juicy and rich with flavor. DH and I both ate every last morsel and were not ashamed to also gnaw every last nibblet from the bones, licking our fingers happily afterwards. The only variations I made were scaling down the recipe to serve two, using chicken quarters instead of separate thighs and drumsticks--and catering the seasonings to our taste. Since DH can't stand anise or fennel, I omitted these two seasonings from my spice mixture (which I suppose wouldn't be authentic Chinese five-spicey). DH and I thought the ginger added just the right accent to the dish. Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe! (Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #34)
