Start by making the honey bourbon barbecue sauce.

In a pot, combine ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, water, brown sugar, granulated garlic, granulated onion, chili powder, salt, pepper, and bourbon.

Mix the sauce well and bring it up to a boil.

Let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until it's reduced by half and slightly thickened.

Preheat the grill dome to 400° and set it up for indirect cooking.

Add the chicken wings to the grill skin side down.

Close the lid and let the wings cook at 400° for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, check the wings; they should have a nice color.

Flip the wings and let them cook for another 10 minutes.

After 20 minutes of grilling, the wings are about 75% done.

Start basing the wings with the honey bourbon barbecue sauce.

Close the lid and let them cook for another 10 minutes.

Flip the wings again and baste them one more time with the sauce.

Close the lid and let them cook for an additional 10 minutes.

After a total of 40 minutes of grilling at 400°, the wings are done and the sauce is caramelized.
