Garlic Spareribs or Chicken Wings

These ribs or wings can be made a day ahead and reheated gently the next day. You can cook them in a saucepan or in an electric fry pan. Garnish the ribs with toasted sesame seeds if you like. A good appetizer with carrot sticks, celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping. Also good with a tossed salad or cole slaw for dinner.
