Method
- Preheat the oven to 150C/Gas 2. Place the ribs in a large baking tray, season well and cook for 1 hr - 1hr 30mins until tender. Remove them from the oven and increase the temperature to 190C/Gas 5
- Mix the sauce ingredients together then brush all over both sides of the ribs. Return to the oven and cook for a further 20-30 mins until sticky and browned. Serve the ribs cut into bones.
Top tips for making spare ribs:
- We recommend cooking the ribs for 1hr to 1hr 30mins. Keep an eye on them as it's easy to overcook and burn the sauce.
- Rest for 10mins before serving to ensure the sauce isn't too hot and the meat has time to relax
- If you like spice try swapping the ketchup for sriracha
- When cooking spare ribs on the barbecue, it is best to cook them in the oven first then just finish off on the barbecue to prevent them from burning
