Make sauce

Using a blender, puree the chicken broth, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, chili sauce, honey, five spice powder and pepper. Transfer to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Cover and keep warm over low heat.

When wings are done, toss wings in the hoisin sauce mixture to coat.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with blue cheese.
