When you season the chicken with this five spice powder, it has such a wonderful smell when it's cooking! The extra step of broiling the chicken at the end crisps up the skin, gives it a nice golden color, and helps to render any of those flabby bits of fat under the skin. It really is worth it, and it makes for a beautiful presentation!
