I am a chicken wing fanatic, and these were excellent!! I used honey instead of sugar. I also substituted the five-spice powder with garlic powder and lots of course ground black pepper. I am allergic to the anise in the chinese spice. Still turned out excellent tasting. Hubby raved. I also prepared the entire thing in a big ziploc bag! No clean-up, except for the electric skillet! -
I added in some fresh ginger pieces and some rice wine vinegar to the marinade, and I used 2 T. brown sugar in place of the sugar. They were lick your lips good and don't forget the napkins! -
I added in 1 tsp. Garlic Chili Sauce to the spice mix for a little added flavor, as it blends so well with Chinese and Thai ingredients. My DD and I had a feast! Yummy! -
These wings were pretty tasty but I thought the flavor could have been stronger. I think next time I will double the marinade ingredients and let sit overnight. Thanks for the awesome recipe! -
This is a great and simple recipe. The beauty of it is that it could be easily modified with different spices, but as is, its great and worth trying again.
