Crispy Five-Spice Chicken image

From Donna Hay's "Flavours". May substitute with pork fillets too. And i've tried it with panko (japanese breadcrumbs) with better, crispier results.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was delicious.

The chicken was a little overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cooking method, such as baking or stir-frying.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken came out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The five-spice powder gave it a delicious flavor that was both sweet and savory.
