Ingredients

20 to 25 chicken wings 

1/4 cup Hoisin sauce 

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce 

1 tablespoon ketchup 

1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar 

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice 

1 teaspoon light-brown sugar 

1 teaspoon chopped garlic 

1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger 

1/4 teaspoon Asian chile paste 

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 

Vegetable-oil cooking spray 

Preparation

Prepare the wings by cutting through the joint to make two pieces. Snip off the tips. Put the wings in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.

Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, garlic, ginger, and chile paste in a small bowl, and whisk well. Brush liberally on the chicken wings, turning them to coat both sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable-oil cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot.

Grill the wings, turning with tongs 3 to 4 times and brushing with any remaining glaze during the first 10 minutes of grilling or until cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
