The Chinese Five spice might have been most of the reason, but I did not particularly enjoy this dish. There wasn't enough marinade left over to put over the chicken during cooking, and the amount of flour given wasn't enough to coat all the chicken either. Not my favorite dish.

Not a fan. Will not make this again.
