If that's the case, you just need to take the wings out of the glass and drip the sauce over them, and trust that time will thicken the sauce. Unless you're putting tremendous amounts of worchestershire sauce, it seems like the BBQ sauce and honey mustard should be plenty thick at eating temperatures.
I'd keep away from cornstarch--if you heat up cornstarch for more than 10 minutes or so, the thickening properties completely disappear. If you're going to use flour, I'd suggest making a roux first (i.e., frying the flour in a little butter or chicken fat for 2-5 minutes) so that you don't get that raw flour taste.

you don't need to heat up the cornstarch any more than you need to heat it up to melt it into some water... and then pour it slowly into your sauce...
ever wonder how the chinese food sauce is thick? cornstarch baby.. and stir fries don't last longer than 10 minutes...
