Method

  • step 1

    Tip the ribs into a big bowl (not a metal one) and throw in the spring onions, chilli and garlic. Now spoon all the remaining ingredients over the ribs and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Get your hands in the bowl and turn the ribs over and over again until they’re coated in the sauce. (You can keep the ribs uncooked – tightly covered – in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for several months.)

  • step 2

    Cook the ribs over a moderate barbecue for 20-30 minutes depending on their size, turning them over frequently and brushing with sauce each time. The turning and brushing is important, so that all four sides of each rib get encrusted with the sauce, which builds up like a lacquer. If you have any leftover sauce at the end, heat it up in a pan and pour it over the ribs just before serving.

I marinaded the ribs over night in the sauce. Cooked them for 40 mins in the oven then popped them onto the BBQ to crisp up basting all the time with the sauce and I was disappointed there really wasnt much flavour I will stick with my usual go to recipe for ribs, stickiest ever, from this site

question

Maybe a silly question (but I've never cooked ribs before!) - do you cut up the ribs first, or cook as the rack? Thanks!

Made this as part of a sharing plate. Everyone raved about the flavour of the sauce, not believing I'd made it! I put them in the slow cooker for about 6 hours then finished them off in the oven to crisp up. Already had request to make them again. Cannot recommend highly enough.

For those who "leave out the alcohol as cooking for children" there is really no need - alcohol is evaporated during cooking. Not as if a tablespoon of rum would give them a killer hangover anyways
