Five Spice Grilled Chicken
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry
  • 2 shallots
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 serrano pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground anise seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds bone-in chicken parts
Instructions
1
Combine the soy sauce, oil, sherry, minced shallots, garlic cloves, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, diced serrano pepper, brown sugar, anise seeds, and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
2
Transfer the chicken to a large container or bowl. Pour the blended marinade over the chicken, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.
3
Heat a grill or barbecue to high temperatures.
4
Brush the grill grate with oil to prevent sticking. Discard the marinade and reserve it for serving.
5
Place the chicken on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 10 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through.
