Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds Chicken Wings, cut into "Drummettes" and "Planks" (leave "tips" connected to planks or cut off and discard)
1 bottle Sonny’s Sweet Sauce or other 12 ounces Sweet BBQ Sauce store bought or homemade, of choice

Chipotle Marinade

1/2 cup Olive Oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed Lime Juice
2 tablespoons Adobo Sauce (from a can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce)
2 cloves Garlic minced
1 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
Salt to taste

Instructions

In a sealable bowl large enough to hold all the wings, add all ingredients under Chipotle Marinade heading, olive oil, lime juice, adobo sauce, garlic, paprika, brown sugar and salt. Mix well.
Add wings to the marinade. Toss to cover all wings evenly. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 4 hours or overnight (do not leave in marinade more than 24 hours).
Preheat the smoker to 250°F with your favorite wood for smoke flavor.
Remove wings from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place in smoker. Smoke for one hour. Be sure to discard marinade.
Preheat grill to medium to high heat.
Remove wings from smoker.
Place on preheated grill over medium to high heat and cook for 1 - 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill once you have desired caramelization and place in a large bowl.
Add BBQ sauce. Toss to coat well.
Serve with dipping sauces, of choice.
