5 Spice Wings-1-3 I felt like I’ve lost the last week.  I’ve been sick and both of my sons have been sick.  You know how it goes- the preschooler brings homes a virus and it makes its way through the family.   We are all better now but all the things that I’ve had planned for the past week has been tossed to the side and I’m trying to play catch up this week.  First up are these five-spice chicken wings that I was supposed to share last week.  It’s almost like these wings don’t want to make it to the blog. 5 Spice Wings-1-6 This is a recipe I’ve been meaning to share for months now, I even have several versions of it but something always gets in the way of me sharing it.   These wings are tossed in a sweet Chinese Five-Spice Glazed and baked to perfection, I’ve also tested a fried version of these wings and it’s just as amazing.   Chinese five-spice powder can be found at your local supermarket and is a combination of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel seeds and Sichuan pepper. 5 Spice Wings-1-7
