Five-spice powder is my secret weapon in my kitchen. I love it and it’s one of my most-used spices. It’s a mixture of star anise, cinnamon, cloves, fennel, and Sichuan pepper. The unique scent and aroma is great as a marinate to meat, especially chicken.

You can buy the five-spice powder from any Chinese or Asian stores. They come in a small bottle (like ground pepper) and last a long time. If you can’t find it at stores, you can certainly purchase them easily online.

The chicken goes so well with steamed rice, or noodles.This recipe is very versatile, you can make it on a skillet, grill it outdoor on a grill, or bake it in the oven. Either way, it’s an excellent dish that you can make in a jiffy.
