Boys requested Wings to take to the football game on Saturday!!! These were so tasty I think that I will do a batch of these and a batch of the Scarbelly wings!
 
Hey Case, how much star anise did ya use ? And where ya get that stuff ?

Thanks Justin!!!

I get my Star Anise from a local spice shop here. I do know that our Safeway also carries it. I get the whole star anise not powdered. Each whole piece has 5-6 arms. I used three pieces this time. If I hadn't been in such a hurry I would've charred the anise and cinnamon stick in a hot skillet. Brings out more flavor.

I forgot I used half a cinnamon stick and didn't include that...

Nothing fancy made a five spice garlic ginger marinade. Been marinating the wings for several hours now. Will put these in the Mini in a few more hours. Will be using Cherry and Pecan. I reserved a cup of the marinade that I will reduce down for a glaze. May add a Thai chile in there for some heat.


DirtSailor2003-those look awfully good.  What is your 5 spice recipe?

Thank you!

2-3 nubs of Star Anise, pepper (? I just grind it in until it looks like enough), brown sugar (1/4 cup +), ginger (fresh about a thumb sized piece sliced), garlic (3-4 cloves minced). 1/2 cup soy, 1/2 cup water (can use saki instead of water). mix together and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add more sugar if needed to balance the saltiness of the soy. Sometimes I'll add half a stick of cinnamon. I have also been known to add fish sauce sometimes, but only if more salt is needed. Usually the soy is plenty.

Thanks DirtSailor.

About how far do you reduce the 1 cup of marinade you have reserved?  Then you baste your wings with it with about what...15 minutes to go?

Close to about half. I also add more brown sugar, and sometimes will add a few drops of sesame oil.
