Asian Sticky Ribs Recipe by Mr. Make It Happen

Alright, I realize a lot of folks are drifting away from Pork and Beef but let’s be real here… I can’t imagine a scenario where I don’t get to enjoy a juicy, tender, and delicious pork rib – AT LEAST on occasion lol. I’ve been perfecting my Rib Recipes since the very early days of my cooking career, and this recipe right here is easily in top contention for best ever. Give it a try and thank me later.

First things first, we are doing these “Party Style” – which basically, means separating each individual bone. This is ideal for parties and get-togethers or if you want to serve ribs as an appetizer (THAT is my type of carrying on right there lol)

Remove the membrane from the ribs and use a nice sharp knife like this one, to separate each bone individually.

Next, assemble your rib rub in a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Coat the ribs with olive oil and your seasoning blend – DON’T BE SHY.

Layer the ribs on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet with a wire rack. The wire rack allows air to circulate around the ribs and promotes more even cooking.

Pop those in the oven at 275 for a good 2.5 hours – flipping about half-way through.

Next, add them to a foil pan or casserole dish and add your sauce. (Reserve some sauce for final plating). Cover with foil and pop back into the oven for 90 minutes or until the ribs are fork-tender. Then transfer them back to the wire rack and sauce them up. One final trip to the oven for 20-30 minutes and BOOM… the most amazing ribs ever.

Garnish with sesame seeds and diced chives. Save some sauce for dipping and enjoy. You might also love my these 6. If you love this, you'll also enjoy my 5 steps to an epic rack! oven baked dr. pepper ribs.
