Lillyann / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago
Anyone who has ever visited the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles will understand how this great-tasting hors d'oeuvre got its name. The recipe came to us from The Gourmet Cookbook, and it's a party favorite.

Great pic. I will have to make these and hope they turn out as pretty as your picture of the wings. I guess I will be "winging" it. JJ

I'm going to try these over the weekend ~ I'm going to have to make some using chicken tenders as well for a few family members who have issues with chicken wings ~ poor little wings! ;)
Thanks once again Lillyann for sharing

These look great Lillyann, will try them Saturday for our playoff game, and ucred2, I know what you mean, I have a 16 year old who won't eat meat off the bone!!!(help me Lord...)
Thanks for a great post.
Just served these, they are fabulous--the whole family loved them, one son want it again with extra sauce to put over rice. This recipe is a keeper.

I just this minute stumbled upon this recipe. Too late, I just got done making Buffalo Wings for the football games. These are the very next wings I will make. One question: Do you really have to flip them? If I place them skin side up I really shouldn't have to flip them.~~~~~Sas

Hi all,
I'll take it as a compliment that my recipe is here but it IS mine and I was given credit for it by Gourmet. This slightly different version is the original and still the best. Good luck!:
La Brea Tar Pit Chicken Wings
1 cup soy sauce (low sodium is OK)
½ cup hearty red wine (cheap is OK)
9 tbsp. sugar
¼ tsp. dry ginger
2 packages chicken wings (approx. 24)
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut wings into 3s (discard tips or use for stock) and put into a 9 x 13 foil-lined pan.
Mix other ingredients over low heat until sugar is dissolved; pour over wings.
Bake for 45 minutes, turn and check after another 30 or 45 minutes.
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!” A slightly different version of the recipe is on pg 55 of The Gourmet Cookbook. mmm_in_ma
