Hoisin and Honey Slow-Cooker Chicken Drumsticks

In a cool pan, combine 1 part star anise, 1 part fennel seeds, ½ part Chinese cinnamon, ½ part Sichuan pepper, and ⅕ part cloves and toast over medium-low heat until fragrant. Remove to a plate and let cool completely. Add the toasted spices to your coffee grinder and pulse until fine. For an even consistency, sift the blended seasoning through a fine-mesh sieve.
