In a large bowl whisk together the juices, soy sauce, oil, coriander, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Fold in the cilantro. Using a Microplane, grate garlic, serrano, and ginger into bowl. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside half of the sauce in a small saucepan. Toss the wings in remaining sauce to coat; marinate 15 to 20 minutes. (If you marinate any longer, the pineapple juice will start to "cook" the meat.) Meanwhile, preheat oven to 225°F. Arrange wings in a single layer on rack or parchment, cover with foil, and bake 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the reserved sauce in saucepan over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half, about 30 minutes. Remove foil from wings and increase oven temperature to 425°F. With a brush or spoon, glaze wings with the reduced sauce. Bake 25 to 30 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F. Glaze the wings once more as soon as they're out of the oven. Sprinkle green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and additional chopped fresh cilantro over wings. Serve warm. Serves 4.
