When preparing the chicken, to avoid the crispy tasty outside and bloody raw inside, prick each chicken until it reach the bones with a bamboo stick or a toothpick 3 to 5 times before frying it. And if you can’t find five spice powder, you can make your own by combining equal amounts of ground anise, ground black peppercorns, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and ground fennel seeds. Mix them thoroughly or shake them in a bottle until well mixed.
