Steps:
- Coat a grill rack or broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill or broiler. In a cup, combine the chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cut two 1/2"-deep slashes in each side of the chicken tenders. Rub the spice mixture over the chicken, pressing it into the slits. Place the chicken in a baking pan and coat completely with cooking spray. Let stand for 10 minutes. In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, almonds, garlic, chile pepper, and salt. Process until chopped. While the processor is running, add the lime juice and oil through the feed tube, stopping the machine once or twice to scrape down the sides of the container, until the sauce is smooth. Pour the sauce into a bowl. Stir in the water, cover, and chill until ready to serve. Place the chicken on the prepared rack and grill or broil 6" from the heat, turning several times, for 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 170 degrees F and the juices run clear. Serve with the sauce and garnish with the cilantro.
SPICY CHINESE FIVE-SPICE RUBBED CHICKEN WINGS WITH CREAMY CILANTRO DIPPING SAUCE
As much as I love the classic, tangy wings, I have to say these are right up there with them. These couldn't get much easier either. All I do is rub the wings all over with a hot Chinese five spice rub and bake them in a really hot oven.

SPICY CHINESE FIVE-SPICE-RUBBED CHICKEN WINGS WITH CREAMY CILANTRO DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- If you have whole chicken wings, cut off wingtips and cut the wings in half at the joint. Discard wingtips or freeze to make stock.
- Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle five-spice powder and cayenne on the wings; add generous pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of black pepper. Rub the mixture into all the wings until no more loose rub remains.
- Line the wing pieces up on a baking sheet so the side of the wing that has the most skin is facing up. Roast until cooked through, browned and crispy, about 25 minutes. Serve hot with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce.
- Combine ingredients in mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients to incorporate them fully and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. These cuts are tender and juicy, and they hold up well to the marinating and baking process.
- Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the spice rub. This will help to ensure that the chicken is flavorful throughout.
- Bake the chicken at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside juicy.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. The cilantro dipping sauce that is included in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use your favorite barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Spice rubbed chicken fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a crispy crust that is full of flavor. The cilantro dipping sauce is a great complement to the chicken, and it adds a refreshing burst of flavor.
