- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- ⅔ cup olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper

- 1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. minced garlic

INSTRUCTIONS
- In a food processor or blender, process garlic, chipolte peppers, reserved adobo sauce, sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar and salt until smooth. With the motor running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube until all the oil is incorporated. Season to taste with pepper and pulse to blend.
- Rinse wings under cold running water and pat dry. Place in a large sealable bag (or bags) and pour in 1½ cups marinade. Seal bag and toss to coat, refrigerate for 2 hours.
- For the Cherry Chipolte Barbecue Sauce in a medium saucepan, bring ketchup, cherry preserves, cherry juice, brown sugar, vinegar, chipolte pepper sauce, Worchestershire sauce, garlic and onion powder to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes to let flavors blend.
- Remove wings from the marinade, but do not pat dry. Discard marinade. Place wings in a single layer in disposable aluminum pans and set aside.
- Prepare the fire in your smoker. See manufacturer's instructions.
- Place pans on the smoker racks, add wood to the coals and close the lid. Smoke at 225F to 250F for 1 hour. Brush wings with barbecue sauce and close the lid. Smoke for 1 hour or until juices run clear with chicken is pierced.
- Serve wings with remaining sauce on the side.
