Servings: persons

1 lb boneless chicken tenders
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons ginger, minced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 star anise pods
Sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce, preferably low sodium
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 teaspoon asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

1
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the star anise and chicken. Stir well to blend. Add the chicken pieces and toss. Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to a zip log bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (and ideally overnight).
2
Thirty minutes before cooking, remove the chicken and the marinade from the refrigerator, and allow to sit out at room temperature. Place the star anise pods in a dry, hot pan over medium high heat and toast for about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and pound or grind in a spice grinder into a powder. Add the star anise powder to the chicken and marinade and stir well. Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing all ingredients together in a small bowl.
3
Cook the chicken on a traditional grill for about ten minutes, or use a stovetop grill pan, sprayed with a little non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, you could even broil the chicken on high, turning a couple of times for even browning.
4
Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce. This chicken is great with some rice to soak up the extra sauce and an Asian-style slaw, steamed sugar snap peas, or broccoli sauteed with some sesame seeds and red pepper strips. My husband loves this simple dish and it's a big hit with my kids too! It's also a great crowd pleaser at an outdoor BBQ. It's like comfort food, made just a little more exotic than usual!
