Party Ribs

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This makes a ton of delicious serving size ribs, perfect to feed a crowd --- the ribs may be grilled instead of oven baked the last 35-40 minutes of cooking, basting occasionally with the sauce --- servings is only estimated --- this is *very* good!

This is an easy recipe to prepare. My husband used thinner ribs, so the cooking time was less. The sauce was thick and sticky, just the way we like it.

Loved them! The sauce is similar to the bbq sauce I make all the time and I just love it. The only difference is the soy sauce. What a great way to add depth and balance out the sweetness. Thanks so much for sharing.

These are very good. They are beautiful and very flavorful. I followed the ingredients except for the cayenne pepper. I used the oven. Made for Newest Tag.
