Serves 4 as an entrée or 6 to 12 as an appetizer
24 chicken wings
1 cup hoisin sauce
½ cup plum sauce
⅓ cup oyster sauce
¼ cup wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dry sherry or Chinese rice wine
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon Asian chile sauce
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
6 cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup minced ginger
1 green onion, ends trimmed, minced
Cut off the wing tips and save them for making stock. In a bowl large enough to hold the wings, combine all the remaining ingredients. Add the wings, and mix thoroughly. Marinate the wings in the refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours (the longer, the better).
If using a gas barbecue or an indoor grill, preheat to medium (350°F). If using charcoal or wood, prepare a fire. Drain the chicken and reserve the marinade. When the gas barbecue or indoor grill is preheated or the coals or wood are ash covered, brush the grill with oil, then add the chicken wings. Regulate the heat so that it remains at a medium temperature. Grill the chicken wings for about 30 minutes with the barbecue covered. Turn the wings every 5 minutes, basting them on both sides with the reserved marinade. The chicken wings are done when the skin turns an even mahogany color and the meat is tender.
Remove the chicken wings from the barbecue. Cut the wings in half through the joint. Transfer to a platter and serve.

2 teaspoons Asian chile sauce
2 teaspoons curry powder
CHINESE GLAZE

Prepare the chicken wings for stuffing. In a bowl, combine the pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chile sauce, and curry powder. Using your fingers, mix until evenly blended. Transfer the stuffing to a pastry bag and fill the wings.
To make the glaze, in a separate bowl, combine all the glaze ingredients and mix well. Gently coat the chicken wings with the glaze. This can be done up to 12 hours in advance of cooking; keep refrigerated.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Coat a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place the rack in the baking pan. Place the wings in a single layer on the rack. Place the baking pan in the middle of the oven and roast for 45 minutes. Do not baste during cooking. Serve hot.

Here are some favorite common beers, with some food pairing and serving suggestions:
Some other tips:
Beer is a delicious aperitif. Choose a light beer to serve before a meal.
Serve pale beers with light soups and heavy, malty beers with stews.
Light beers are delicious with green salads and vegetable courses.
Serving a chocolate dessert? A rich, sweet, dark beer is the perfect match. Fruitier beers work well with fruit desserts.
A strong sweet beer is a nice digestif, with or without a separate dessert.
