Make the dry rub by putting the star anise, Sichuan pepper, sesame seeds and fennel seeds into a pan. Toast over a low heat until the sesame seeds are golden brown. Transfer everything to a pestle and mortar and grind it to a fine powder. Add a good pinch of salt and then dust it all over the chicken and rub it in. Now add the brushing sauce and leave the chicken to marinate for a few hours or overnight if possible.
