In a saucepan, warm 2 cups of the water.
Add the 1/3 cup of kosher salt and 1/2 cup of Lakanto Sweetener, whisking until dissolved.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl or gallon-size zip-top bag.
Add the remaining 4 cups cold water to cool the brine.
Add the chicken wings, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
Remove the wings from the brine and discard the liquid.
Rinse briefly under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the True Made Foods BBQ Sauce, tamarind paste, garlic, chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce.
Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Whisk in the Lakanto Monk Fruit with Date Sugar and kosher salt. Continue simmering for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sweetener has dissolved completely and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Clean the grill grates thoroughly and lightly oil them with avocado oil.
Set up the charcoal grill for two-zone cooking, with the coals on one side and a cooler indirect zone on the other.
Preheat the grill to 400°F–425°F. Once the coals are hot, add hickory wood chunks to create smoke.
Arrange the wings on the indirect-heat side of the grill.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Flip the wings and continue cooking for 15 minutes more.
Add additional hickory wood as needed.
Continue cooking for about 10 to 15 minutes longer, turning occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl.
Pour about ¾ cup of the glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Move the glazed wings to the direct-heat side of the grill.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes and the wings develop lightly charred edges.
Reserve the remaining glaze for serving.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and serve immediately.
Serve with the remaining glaze and ranch dressing on the side for dipping, if desired.
