2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

3 tablespoons Thai hot sauce

3 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint, tips removed and discarded

Peanut Dipping Sauce, recipe follows

Steps:

For the dipping sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
For the wings: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a slotted broiler tray inside a broiler pan and spray well with canola spray.
In a large nonreactive bowl, add the hot sauce, soy, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds and hoisin. Whisk to combine. Add the chicken wings to the marinade and stir to coat. Let marinate at room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Lay the chicken wings out in 1 layer on the prepared tray and bake, about 15 minutes. Turn the wings over and continue to cook an additional 15 minutes. Place the wings on a serving platter and garnish with the green onions. Serve with the peanut dipping sauce.
