Preheat Smoker:

Smoke Chicken:

Make Sauce:
- Combine ketchup, honey, Worcestershire Sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, diced jalapeños, avocado oil, black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a saucepan. Simmer until thickened.
Glaze Chicken:
- Brush the lollipops with the prepared sauce. Smoke for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Rest and Serve:
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
