Sticky Spicy Ribs

These sticky spicy ribs are the ultimate centrepiece for any summer barbecue or casual weekend gathering. This dairy-free dish combines a deep, smoky dry rub with a rich, aromatic glaze featuring ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. By slow-baking the ribs before finishing them on the grill, you ensure the meat is perfectly tender while achieving that signature charred, caramelised exterior that makes baby back ribs so irresistible.

Ideal for feeding a crowd, this recipe balances the heat of chipotle with the sweetness of dark brown sugar for a complex flavour profile that appeals to everyone. Serve these ribs with a fresh slaw and corn on the cob for a complete homemade feast. Because the sauce can be prepared in advance, it is a stress-free option for entertaining friends and family comfortably at home.
