100 ml light soy sauce
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon clear honey
5 cm piece fresh ginger, Peeled and grated
1 medium onion, Peeled and grated
2 garlic cloves, Peeled and crushed
1 star anise, crushed
1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Mix the soy sauce and dry mustard powder together in a china or glass container to form a marinade. Add the honey, ginger, onion, garlic and star anise to the soy sauce mixture and leave to stand for at least 8 hours.
When complate, coat the chicken with the mariande and leave for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally and basting.
When ready to cook, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the chicken and grill or barbeque for 5-6 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, put the rest of the marinade in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Turn the chicken over and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, basting with the marinade occasionally during the cooking.
Note: Makes an excellent all-round low-fat marinade for lamb, pork and fish steaks.
