If you really want to see 2 kilograms of ribs disappear really quickly - I suggest you cook this recipe!
Saturday night feast had us smacking our lips and licking our fingers with this Sticky Oven Barbecue Ribs recipe. And to say it beats restaurant or takeaway ribs is a total understatement. Once you cook these I am guessing that you will hesitate to even order ribs at a restaurant or as a takeaway again.
One thing I do love is preparing and cooking easy yet flavoursome food - and to be perfectly honest this recipe was very easy to prepare taking about 15 minutes in total. Slow cooked, giving me time to do other things, however devoured in minutes!
I seasoned the pork ribs with a magic combination of herbs and let them rest in the fridge for around 8 hours (you can just rub the seasoning in and cook straight away). Smelling these cook low and slow in the oven made coming into the kitchen irresistible as the aroma was very inviting. Hints of garlic, cumin and chilli filled the air - definitely couldn't wait to eat these.
The sticky barbecue sauce, added to the ribs towards the end of the cooking time, was super easy to prepare also. Add as little or as much cayenne powder to suit your palette (we added a fair bit but we like spicy) pop them back into the oven for 10 minutes and your fork free dining is ready. Slice them or serve them as full racks with or without chips, salad! So many choices.... just have serviettes or napkins on hand.
I am sure that these ribs won't last long - they didn't at ours!
