Mickdabass' recipe is bang on, mate. I put the star anise in whole and it resulted in a very delicate flavouring of the meat - not overpowering at all. Give it a bash - it's lovely. :)

Aye, you're right! Sorry, old age getting the better of me! I haven't made the marinade for 4 weeks or so and I forgot that I pounded up a star anise for it. They are a nightmare to do if you don't have the right tools for the job. I ended up putting one in a ziploc bag and battering it senseless with a rolling pin!

I also forgot that after that rigmarole, I stuck a handful of star anise in my stick blender attachment and ground them up for later use.

Sorry for the confusion, RubyDoo! :)

OK  - done.
In the fridge
1st impressions -
Marinade quite thin but recipe states it will thicken.
Smells and looks good, slightly darker than Blade's
Get the impression that the quantity of marinade will do about 3/4 times the amount of chicken shown. - reserve judgement on that one but that was the case with Blade's too.

Will cook them tomorrow.   ;)

I just ground up the whole thing and then sieved out all the woody bits. Just grinding the seeds might be better - I dont know  :-\

Did the whole thing, 1st in the grinder but one star doesn't lend itself to good grind.. Not bad job but gave it a final go in the mortar.

I hope you don't mind me saying, but you'd be far better off using aniseed instead of star anise. :)
