It’s easy to rely on take-out for some of our favorite Chinese dishes. However, with the right pantry staples, dishes like this 5-Spice Popcorn Chicken can become part of your go-to arsenal of recipes. First the chicken is marinated with garlic, sugar, and Chinese Five Spice, a blend of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, and black pepper. After frying, it gets an additional sprinkling of the zesty spice blend, and is served with creamy sriracha mayonnaise and scallions.
