Name: Dinner Tonight: Star Anise And Ginger Chicken Recipe
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (such as thighs and legs); 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips; 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced; 1/3 cup Chinese rice wine (or use sherry or sake); 1/2 cup chicken stock or water; 1 tablespoon honey; 1 star anise; 1/4 cup light or low-sodium soy sauce; 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh clementine or orange juice, optional; 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Servings: persons

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (such as thighs and legs)
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Chinese rice wine (or use sherry or sake)
1/2 cup chicken stock or water
1 tablespoon honey
1 star anise
1/4 cup light or low-sodium soy sauce
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh clementine or orange juice, optional
2 scallions, thinly sliced

1
In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimming. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down and cook undisturbed until they pull away easily from the pan and the skin is golden, 5-8 minutes. Turn the pieces with tongs and cook for a minute longer, just to lightly brown the other side. Remove with tongs to a plate.
2
Pour off all but a tablespoon of the oil and add the ginger, garlic, rice wine, stock or water, honey, star anise, and soy sauce to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the clementine or orange juice, and put the chicken back into the skillet skin-side up (it should be about half-submerged with the crisp skin still exposed). Simmer until the chicken is just cooked though, 5-10 minutes more.
3
Remove the chicken to a plate and turn the heat to high. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce until almost syrupy.
4
Return the chicken to the pan to glaze in the sauce. Sprinkle with scallions and serve with white rice.
