MOLASSES FIVE SPICE ROAST CHICKEN
I had ordered chinese five-spice powder from Penzey's a while ago and was waiting for a recipe to try and just found this in Good Housekeeping. It was incredible. The flavor is outstanding. In response to one of my reviews I did not have a problem with my potatoes cooking I did cut them into quarters small enough to cook but not so small they disengrate.
