Five-spice powder is a mixture of spices
often used in Chinese cooking. Although combinations may vary,
the fragrant powder usually includes cinnamon, aniseed, fennel,
black or Szechwan pepper, and cloves.
Five-Spice Grilled Chicken
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1 2 1/2 to 3-pound broiler-fryer chicken, quartered
2 tablespoons honey
Hot cooked pasta (optional)
Carrot strips (optional)
Cucumber slices, halved (optional)
- For marinade, combine soy sauce, orange
juice, five-spice powder, and garlic. Place chicken in a plastic
bag set into a shallow dish. Add marinade; seal bag. Turn chicken
to coat well. Chill for 6 to 24 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
Remove chicken from bag. Discard marinade.
- Arrange preheated coals around a drip
pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place
chicken, bone side down, on grill over drip pan. Cover and grill
for 50 to 60 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer
pink, brushing occasionally with honey the last 5 minutes of
grilling. Serve chicken over pasta tossed with carrot strips,
if desired. Garnish with cucumber slices, if desired.
