Sweet and Spicy Duck image

a little oriental goes a long way. can be made with chicken or cornish hens but i really like duck. 5 spice powder i use is 1 tsp crushed anise seed, 1/4 tsp crushed fennel seed, 1/4 tsp pepper (black or szechwan), 1/8 tsp ground cloves. You can buy pre-made 5 spice but i like to make my own.
