1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon Chinese 5 spice powder

2 teaspoons paprika

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 pounds chicken wings (about 20-24), tips removed

3. Sauce: In a blender, blend together the peanut butter, cream of coconut, garlic, water, bell pepper, red pepper flakes and the soy sauce until the mixture is smooth, season the sauce with salt, to taste.

4. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl set on a platter. Arrange the wings around the bowl and garnish the platter with the coriander.
