Fire up the Weber grill and wait for the coals to ash over.

Set up a homemade Vortex by flipping the baskets upside down and punching out the bottoms to pour the coals in.

Arrange the wings in a circle around the Vortex and close the lid to cook for about 20 minutes.

While the wings are cooking, start making the hot honey bourbon sauce by cooking off about 1/2 cup of Bullet bourbon on high heat for 10 minutes.

Add a stick of Cary gold butter to the bourbon and reduce the heat to just past low to prevent burning the sugars in the honey.

Incorporate about 1 cup of Mike's hot honey into the mixture, adjusting to 1 1/4 cups for a stronger flavor.

Continue cooking the sauce on medium-high heat until it reduces and thickens.

Coat the wings with the sauce and return them to the grill to crisp up for about 5 minutes, ensuring to save some sauce for drizzling later.

Drizzle additional hot honey over the wings and give them a quick toss before placing them back on the grill grate.

Close the lid and let the wings cook for another 5 minutes to allow the sauce to tack up.
