Jia Chang Ji
(Star Anise Chicken)
Karen Haigh
Just something I picked up in China... The name translates directly to
"Chicken eaten often at home", and believe me, it is.
Brown chicken lightly in oil. Add ginger and five spice mix. Add star
anise. Continue frying until chicken is well-browned. Add rice wine, soya
sauce, vinegar, sugar, cayenne and water to just cover chicken and boil 45-60
minutes until done. Just before serving, add salt and cilantro to
taste.
