Rinse the wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside in a large bowl.

Marinade: Combine the garlic, shallots, ginger, scallions, lemongrass, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and peanut oil in a __food processor and process until smooth. Pour the marinade over the wings and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight.

When ready to cook, start your Traeger grill on Smoke with lid open until fire is established (4-5 minutes). Preheat with lid closed, 5 minutes.

Remove the wings from the marinade. Reserve the marinade and put in a small pot and bring to a boil and then remove from heat. Use to brush the wings while they cook.

Place the wings on the grill, season with 1 tsp salt and smoke for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, increase temperature to 350 degrees F and roast for 45 to 50 minutes turning once half way through and brushing on reserved sauce when turned.  

Remove wings from grill, place the wings on a serving platter and garnish with the peanuts and cilantro. Enjoy!
