Notes

1. Chinese Five Spice Powder is a blend of five spices that is now commonly found at every day supermarkets in the spice section. It is the same prices as other dried herbs and spices. If you can't find it, this will still be super tasty without it because Hoisin Sauce has five spice in it so you will still get a subtle fragrance of it.

2. I like to make this with thigh because it's juicier but it works really well with breast too because the sugar in the marinade makes it caramelise nicely.

3. Oven: Preheat to 220C/425F. Small (150g/5oz) -Bakeon top shelf for 18 minutes, then turn and bake for another 4 minutes. For large (200g/7oz), do 20 minutes then 5 minutes.Grill/Broil: Preheat to medium high, then cook for 6 - 7 minutes on each side (watch carefully, will get dark brown spots and can burn easily due to sugar in marinade).
