I was hoping this would work well b/c I didn't have the five spice powder. Also, I didn't broil until approx. 7 minutes at the end! So, it worked really well and in fact it is on my keeper list! I just baked my chicken as I normally do, but I rubbed on the spices as directed. Then, the last 7 minutes of cooking, I painted on the boiled hoisin, honey, vinegar, oil, cornstarch , and water. Yummy!
