Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Chili Ribs
  1. Start by preparing your pork spare ribs. Trim any excess fat and remove the silver membrane on the bone side to enhance tenderness. Rinse the ribs under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set them aside on a cutting board while you mix the seasonings.
  2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger. Pat the ribs dry again with paper towels, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the ribs, gently pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres.
  3. If you have time, allow the seasoned ribs to rest at room temperature for about one hour.
  4. Decide which cooking method you'd like to use. For the oven, preheat it to 250°F, and arrange the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil for easier cleanup.
  5. For oven-baked Sweet Chili Ribs, roast them for approximately 2-3 hours until done.
  6. Once the ribs are cooked, remove them and generously brush a layer of Sweet Chili Sauce over each rib.
  7. To achieve a beautiful caramelized glaze, broil or grill the ribs for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to avoid burning.
