This was my 2nd or 3rd time using five spice. I marinated mine overnight. When you took it out of the oven the legs had a nice reddish brow color to them. I'll make this one again. Made for *Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup 2009* game

I used all thighs for this and let them marinate for about 5 hours. The chicken was moist and tasty. I used only 1 tbsp of peanut oil and 1 more tbsp of sesame oil. Thanx for sharing. It's a keeper!
