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
