Chinese Chicken Wings

Remove wing tips and save for the soup pot. Cut each wing in half at the joint. Place in a large baking pan. Combine soy sauce, sherry, oil, garlic, ginger, and pepper. Pour mixture onto the chicken wings. Turn wings to coat, cover, and marinade several hours, turning occasionally. Preheat oven to 425 deg. Bake wings 30 min., basting and turning every 5 minutes. Reposition oven rack to 4 inches below broiler, and preheat broiler. Broil wings 3 to 5 minutes or until dark golden brown. Trans- fer to serving plate. Place baking pan on medium high heat on top of the stove. Add the chicken broth [or water] to deglaze the pan. Reduce the pan liquid in half, scraping the bottom to remove browned bits. Add the sesame oil, stir and pour over wings; sprinkle on sesame seeds.
