About Five Spice Powder
Chinese five spice is a mixture of five main spices: star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, and fennel seeds. Itโs commonly used in many Chinese dishes.
In this recipe, itโs added to the batter to give an extra kick to the deep-fried chicken. But be careful, itโs a very strong spice powder, so a little goes a long way.
