Grilled Chicken With Anise Recipes

GRILLED FIVE SPICE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Score the skin side of each piece of chicken 2 to 3 times, about 1/8 inch deep.
• Whisk together the the juice of 1/2 lime, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, Chinese five-spice powder, 2 teaspoons hot chile paste, ginger, and soy sauce in a bowl. Pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat evenly with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 6 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken halves from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels. Reserve marinade mixture in a small bowl.
• Whisk together the 1/3 cup rice vinegar, juice of 1/2 lime, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon hot chile paste in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn each piece, brush with reserved marinade mixture, and move to indirect heat.
• Grill, brushing with glaze and turning ever 10-15 minutes, until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
• Drizzle vinegar lime juice mixture over the chicken and serve.

GRILLED FIVE-SPICE CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Cut the chicken into 6 pieces and make 1 or 2 slashes in each piece for faster cooking. Trim and discard any excess fat. Pat the chicken dry.
• 2. In a bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar, turmeric, five-spice powder and salt. Stir well to blend. Add the chicken pieces and turn several times to coat them evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• 3. Start a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to moderate heat. (You can also use a broiler.) Thirty minutes before cooking, add the freshly toasted star anise powder to the marinated chicken, turning so the meat is coated evenly.
• 4. Place the chicken, skin side up, on the grill. Cook 10 minutes, then turn over and grill until the chicken is cooked and the juices run clear, another 10 minutes, depending on the thickness. While grilling, move the chicken pieces around so that they cook evenly. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ANISE RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• For Chicken Breast: Combine the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Rub this all over the chicken breast. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbs. olive oil. Place the chicken in the pan over a medium heat and sauté. Cover the pan slightly; when the chicken gains a nice golden color on one side; turn over and continue cooking on the other side. Do not cook the chicken on a high heat; this will dry out the chicken. The chicken is done when the meat is slightly firm to the touch and the juices run clear. Let the chicken rest at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it from drying out. For the Anise: Place the quartered anise in the pan that the chicken was just cooked in. Drizzle a tbs. of olive oil over the anise and season it with the salt and black pepper. Grill the anise until a nice golden color is reached on both sides. Serve with grated Romano or Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
