Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 tsp. aniseed
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp. honey
8 chicken thighs (about 4 lb), trimmed
2 bunches scallions, trimmed
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
Directions:
Directions:
Toast aniseed in a small dry skillet over medium heat, tossing, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool, finely chop.

Whisk garlic, lime juice, sou sauce, honey, and aniseed in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let sit at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450º. Transfer chicken and marinade to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, placing chicken skin side down. Roast until fat begins to render, 15-20 minutes. Turn chicken skin side up and continue to roast, basting occasionally with pan drippings, until chicken is cooked through and deeply browned, 15-20 minutes longer.

After turning chicken, toss asparagus and scallions with oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, shaking pan halfway through, until tender, 10-15 minutes (thinner stalks will cook more quickly).

Transfer chicken to a platter. Pour any pan juices into a glass measuring cup. Let sit a few minutes, then spoon off fat from surface.

Spoon pan juices over chicken and serve with asparagus, scallions, cilantro, and lime wedges.

DO AHEAD: Chicken can be marinated 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
