Well...you'd better figure out how to perfect it or your won't get any calls. Don't matter what you like...how do your friends and family like it?!? Looks pretty good to me.
I am with you. Chicken is a grilling meat, not a smoking meat. If I smoke chicken, it is too eat cold in a salad or sliced as sandwhich meat.

You can smoke chill fry, but I don't think it is worth it if you are going to cover them in sauce.
Wings especially need to be fried. I keep trying to get close on the grill, but so far I have come up way short. The best wings are double fried. First at low temp to par cook, then chill or freeze for later, then a second hot fry to get them super crisp without over cooking the meat. Yum!

I think I saw that on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives... smoked wings that are then deep fried. Sounds like it would be dry by the time it's on the table.
Chicken should be done hot and fast. Pecan is my favorite wood to throw on the coals for poultry.
