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
