Salt and pepper
10 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on

In a large bowl combine, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, orange juice, kecap manis, soy sauce and salt and pepper, add chicken and toss to coat.
Let marinate for minimum 10 minutes.
In a roasting tray place the chicken skin side down in a single layer, pour over the marinade.
