½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1/3 cup chili sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
a few drops of hot sauce to taste

In a flat baking dish, arrange the chicken in a single layer and pour syrup over the chicken to coat all sides. Cover, refrigerate and marinate for 1 hour up to overnight. While the chicken is marinating, in a small bowl, mix the next 6 ingredients.

Remove the chicken from the syrup and sprinkle the chicken with the paprika mixture. Place the drummies in the smoker bag in a single layer and seal. Cook for 20-22 minutes on the grill or 25 minutes if using a bag that works in the oven.

While the chicken is cooking, mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.

Return the chicken to the heat source to brown the top. Serve warm with the remaining sauce for dipping.
