The recipe got its name from the La Brea Tar Pits because I was living in LA when I started making them. The sauce doesn’t have to be thick, sticky or look like tar to be delicious … but the name stuck. The recipe has been published in Gourmet magazine along with an Editor’s Note: “We LOVE these wings! Read more !” A slightly different version of the recipe is on pg 55 of The Gourmet Cookbook.
Ingredients:
1 cup soy sauce (low sodium is ok)
1/2 cup hearty red wine (cheap is ok)
9 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. dry ginger (more if you like ginger)
2 packages chicken wings (approx. 24)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Cut wings into 3s (discard tips or use for stock) and put into a 9 x 13 foil-lined pan
3. Mix other ingredients over low heat until sugar is dissolved; pour over wings
4. Bake for 45 minutes, turn and check after another 30 or 45 minutes
