MOYN'S FIVE-SPICE CHICKEN (WINGS)
Serve these wings with the hot-and-sour coleslaw.

3 lb chicken wings (about 16)
Preheat broiler and oil rack of a broiler pan.
Stir together garlic, five-spice powder, salt, and soy sauce in a large bowl.

****Moyn's changes: I used 1.75 lbs of boneless & skinless chicken thighs. I made the mixture, adding a few drops of sesame oil, then covered the chicken with the marinade, and let marinate all day in the fridge.When I was ready to cook, I laid them out flat on a broiler pan & sprinkled with some roasted peanut oil & a layer of sesame seeds, and roasted at 425 for about 8-10 minutes, until done. It was so succulent and flavorful with that perfumed taste of the 5 spice.... and, the best.... the leftovers were terrific at room temp. It would make great picnic food!
I rounded out the meal with some fresh spinach, sauteed with scallions & soy nuts with a bit of Smart Balance and a Wanna Be Risotto with wheatberries & barley, which I cooked in orange juice & chicken broth, adding only a few drops
of orange oil & a pinch of zest & salt & pepper. It was a yummy meal, for a change.... I seem to be a bit challenged these days.... maybe it's the heat! (in the 90's already, and summer hasn't yet begun!).
Enjoy!
