1
Combine the bouillon, chili sauce, honey, oil, shallots, vinegar and lime leaves and whisk together to form a uniform paste.
2
Reserve some paste for brushing, and place the rest in a resealable plastic bag.
3
Toss the chicken wings in the paste in the bag and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
4
Build a hot charcoal fire on one side of the grill.
5
Set the chicken wings on the grill opposite of the hot coal side.
6
Cover the grill and cook until the wings are just about cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
7
Rotate the wings halfway through for even cooking.
8
To finish the wings, brush with the reserved paste and grill directly over hot coals until charred slightly.
9
Transfer to a platter and top with cilantro leaves and peanuts.
