Dave, it's definitely 15 stars, BUT, I would need to adjust the cooking time to get there. As they sit in the pic, they are 12 stars. I cooked covered in foil for 50 minutes at 350. I should have pulled the foil off with 20 minutes left to go to do exactly what you describe, and oddly enough, what I do with my orange-hoisin chicken. Was making meatballs after these and I think I got distracted watching Top Gear too.
The hoising-5-spice combo is magic. it's sweet and spicy and pungent and complex. Chicken is super tender and moist. I think cooking these for 45 minutes and throwing on a hot grill at that last minute would make them 16 stars.
Thanks again for the recipe!
