Combine 2 cups of ketchup, 1/2 cup of dark molasses, and 1/2 cup of cider vinegar in a pan.

Add 2/3 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke to the pan.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of canola oil.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic granules, 1/2 teaspoon of onion granules, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of Chipotle chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of Spanish smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper to the mixture.

Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined.

Place the pan on the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Check the sauce halfway through and adjust the heat if necessary to maintain a low simmer.

After 25 minutes, check the consistency and taste of the sauce; it can be simmered longer for a thicker sauce.

Use the sauce to baste chicken wings or other barbecued items in the last 3 minutes of cooking.
