5 spice chicken

Oh yea this rocked.

4-5lb chicken
4 pieces of ginger
4 cloves of garlic
2 scallion
3 tbs of soy
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs salt
1 ts pepper
2 star anise
1 tbs five spice

wash and trim chicken of excess fat. Combine all ingredients and stuff all the solids inside the chicken. Marinate the chicken for at least 5 hours. Truss the bird to ensure even cooking. 450 F for about 1 hour. Let it sit for 15 before cutting to keep the juice in.

NOte. Use some foil and fold up the sides to catch the drippings, great on rice or mash potatoes
As you can see I need to work on my chicken chopping skills.
