Deep-fried chicken

Directions

1. Carefully pull the skin away from the chicken pieces, sprinkle with the five-spices powder and salt and pepper, and replace the skin.

2. Rub the five-spices powder on the outside of the chicken pieces and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Allow to marinate, covered, at room temperature for an hour.

4. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer. Add the chicken, a few pieces at time, and deep-fry until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

5. Lift the chicken pieces out of the fryer with tongs and place on paper towels.

6. Reheat the oil and return the chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

7. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with coleslaw.
