It's so easy and so good and crispy. I brine my chicken wings in a mixture of water, salt and brown sugar for 1 hour prior to doing the recipe.

I followed the recipe to the tee and it just didn't have any flavor. I could taste the 5 spice powder and cayanne pepper but even with that, it just wasn't tasty at all. The only thing I would suggest is if your chinese 5 spice powder doesn't already have salt in it, then I would add way more salt than what is called for in the recipe. But at this point, I'm not even going to try to make this again, even with the extra salt. What a waste of chicken and time :(

This was a super easy, fast, and fun recipe. I'm learning how to cook, and anything simple and requires non-complicated ingredients is a plus. I never had chicken wings like this and it had a surprise of spices with a kick of spiciness. Overall it was good.

I started with 2lbs-probably 20 something chicken wings, used the spices the recipe suggested, and baked for 25 minutes at 500 degrees.

I didn't make the cilantro dip and ate it straight out of the oven. It was good without any sauce, so maybe with the suggested dip or even Thai sweet chili sauce, it may be another yummy flavor surprise.

I use this recipe as my backup appetizer whenever I'm in a pinch and it's always a hit. If you don't like 5-spice, you can substitute other rubs and adjust for less salt if your rub already has some. Just make sure to pat the chicken dry before adding the rub or the wings may not be as crispy. I also recommend using a baking rack on a baking sheet to let the fat render way so you get cripy skin on both sides.

Lastly, the dipping sauce works well with scallions or garlic chives substituting cilantro. I love cilantro but I have some friends that don't, so I made the modification to accomodate them.

Winner all the way around. For Superbowl, I'm making these and will be trying for the first time, Trent's Sirachi wings. I'll let you know that works out.

I have made chicken wings every way possible to achieve perfection. These wings are by far, the moistest, tastiest wings I've ever eaten. No, they are NOT the hottest, but then, you are free to make them as hot as you choose. I suggest buying only the finest Five-Spice-Powder and a top of the line cayenne pepper to achieve the best results for flavor of the chicken. The dipping sauce was not my favorite, but I added more cilantro and Lawry's Seasoning Salt instead of kosher, and when paired with the wings, it was a winner. This recipe is a keeper, and I will try cooking my buffalo wings in the oven as in this recipe to see if they come out as juicy and tender. I will also add that I used a convection oven to make this recipe.

I made wings with the 5 Chinese Spices this past Friday, my friend was not too keen on the smell of the spices. I served them with the Sweet Chili Pepper Sauce I happened to pick up at Sam's; it made all the difference for him. The spices and sauce enhanced each other, making it his favorite out of 3 different types of wings.

Had a very unique flavor. The dip definitely tamed the spiciness of the five-spice and cayenne pepper. Not a favorite, but would make again.
