Sorry to add a bad review! Made this for my family, and we thought it was just okay. The five-spice powder gave the sauce a strange texture that we didn't care for, but we loved the hoisin sauce... Maybe nexttime we'll do it with just the hoisin sauce. Thanks

Wonderful Flavour! I made this as a "dump" recipe by dumping everything into a ziploc and then adding the chicken to the bag. (oh and I used thighs instead of drumsticks)I tossed the bag into the freezer and on serving day I dumped the bag into a casserole dish and baked for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. We all enjoyed this and I have added it to my OAMC chicken collection, thanks!
