chicken legs - 16 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp Chinese five-spice
- 1 lemongrass stalk, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp water
- 1/2 cantaloupe, thinly sliced

Instructions
Lift the skin on leg quarters and press 4 basil leaves under each. Place chicken in resealable plastic bags. In blender, mix 1 Tbsp five-spice powder, lemon grass, soy sauce, 2 Tbsp vegetable oil and water. Puree until smooth. Pour mixture into plastic bag with chicken; seal and shake until chicken is coated. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, prepare coals for grill, or preheat gas grill. Place chicken on grill over medium heat and cook, turning, until firm and cooked thoroughly, about 10 - 15 minutes per side.
While chicken is cooking, prepare salad by whisking together in medium bowl five-spice powder, rice vinegar, 1-1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Arrange cantaloupe slices on serving plates or platter. Drizzle salad dressing over cantaloupe; sprinkle with slivered basil leaves. Place chicken legs next to salad to serve.
