• For the wings: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat.

• For the honey bourbon glaze: Add the oil to a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook to slightly soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the honey and mustard and stir to combine. Carefully add the bourbon off the heat, then return to the heat and boil until it has a syrup consistency and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully add the reduced mixture to a high-powered blender and blend until thoroughly combined. Add the glaze to a large metal bowl and add the wings directly to the bowl from the oven. Toss until the wings are thoroughly coated.
• Grill the coated wings until charred on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Add to a large platter.
• For the blue cheese dressing: Combine the Roquefort, sour cream, mayonnaise, cracked black pepper and celery salt in a medium bowl and stir until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt. Keep cold.
