We didn't care for this at all. I made as directed except I used chicken breast and cut the spices in half,but used the full marinate for 8 hours. We did not care for the combination. I fixed 4 chicken breast and used your recipe on 2 and mine on the other 2 just in case. We had never had anise seed before, but I think it was the clove that we didn't care for in this recipe.
