For 1 Cornish game hen cut in half, or 2 pieces of chicken thigh and drumstick, or 2 pieces of breast meat, you'll need:
1 Cornish game hen cut in half, or 2 pieces of chicken thigh and drumstick, or 2 pieces of breast meat
1 tblsp soy sauce
1 tblsp honey or 2 tsp sugar
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
Mix all of the ingredients together to form a thick paste. Rub marinade all over the chicken.
Ideally, you can let the chicken marinate for about an hour if you wish, but it's not necessary.
Bake in shallow pan, skin side down at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
Flip so the chicken is skin side up and bake at 325 for 25 minutes.
