This is one of those recipies that I've used enough that I've forgotten where the original inspiration came from-and that I actually hardly ever measure everything for...It's great for a gathering of friends for almost any occasion-say watching a game, or even a good movie...It also makes a great appetizer(I would recommend dialing back the cayenne-so as not to over power what ever else you might be serving later)...For Gary and Robin :-)

How To Make spicy chinese five spice-rubbed chicken wings with creamy cilantro dipping sauce
-
1FOR THE WINGS
-
2Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment.
-
3Remove the tips from the chicken wings(save for making stock-if you wish-or discard)and cut the wings in half at the joint. Place the wings in a bowl.
-
4Sprinkle 5 spice powder, and cayenne over wings, add salt and pepper.(be generous with the pepper) Rub this mixture all over the wings until no powder remains
-
5Place the wings on parchment lined baking sheet with the most skin up. Bake for about 25 minutes-or until cooked through browned and crispy-meanwhile make the sauce
-
6NOTE: This spice mixture also makes a very good Chinese inspired rub for a whole roast chicken-just maintain the ratio of 2 parts five spice to 1 part cayenne
-
7FOR THE SAUCE
-
8Combine all sauce ingredients through the lemon juice-add salt and pepper to taste
-
9NOTE: I should mention that I like my wings very spicy-you might prefer a lessor amount-but the sauce goes a long way in taming the heat
-
10NOTE: This recipe can be easily doubled-just use two baking sheets, and rotate baking sheets half way through the baking time.
