To make wing dust, grind anise seeds into powder in an electric coffee grinder. Mix next
8 ingredients together with anise powder. Grind this mixture again in coffee grinder and
set aside. Wash wings. Place in marinade and refrigerate for 4 hours. Drain and discard
marinade. Heat oil to 375 degrees in a heavy skillet. Oil should be almost 3/4 inches
deep. Toss wings in flour until well coated. Turn heat to medium. Fry wings until golden
brown. This takes about 12 to 15 minutes. Place wings on a sheet pan. Dip pastry brush
into melted butter and daub on wings. Generously sprinkle with wing dust. Serve with
Sweet and Sour Sauce.
