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.
