 THE WINGS: Prepare the chicken wings: Mince and mash the garlic and shallots
 to a paste with the salt. In a large bowl stir the paste together with the 5
 spice powder, paprika, rosemary, cayenne, and the oil. Mix well. Add the
 chicken wings. Toss and stir them until they are completely covered with the
 marinade. Let them marinate, covered and chilled for 4 hours or over night.
 Arrange the wings, skin side up, on the rack of a foil lined large broiler pan
 and bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425F oven for 25 to 30 minutes
 or until they are golden. The wings may be prepared one day in advance, kept
 covered and chilled and then reheated before serving. THE 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. THE PRESENTATION:
 
 Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl set on a platter.
 
 Arrange the wings around the bowl and garnish the platter with the coriander.
