Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the chicken frames in a baking dish and roast for 40 minutes or until golden.

Note
• Dried Chinese soup spices are available from Asian grocers and there are lots of varieties to choose from – I like those that include cinnamon, star anise and liquorice root.
