Grilled honey and sesame seed chicken wings

Makes four servings

1⁄2 cup dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled and minced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chili paste

2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, separated into drumettes and flats

1⁄2 cup honey

2 teaspoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted

One scallion, sliced

1. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to a moderate heat, about 375 degrees. 

2. Stir together the soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chili paste in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, turning to coat, and let marinate for 15 minutes. 

3. Spray the grill with cooking spray and then arrange the chicken on it in a single layer. Cover the grill with a lid and cook, turning often, until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. 

4. Whisk together the honey and hoisin in a small bowl and baste the chicken wings with the sauce. Cover with a lid and cook until caramelized, about three minutes. 

5. Turn the wings and baste with more honey sauce. Cook uncovered for a further two to three minutes, taking care not to scorch them. 

6. Transfer the wings to a platter and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and some sliced scallion. Serve with any remaining honey sauce on the side.
