Button Ribs

If you can find strips of button ribs (Chinese butchers often have them), this is ideal for them. This also works well with chicken wings or quail.

• 1.5 lbs. button ribs
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 Tbsp. sambal oelek
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp. oil
• 2 tsp. brown sugar
• 0.5 tsp. five spice powder

Combine garlic, sambal oelek, honey, sauce, sugar, and oil in bowl, add the ribs, stir well; cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Pre-heat your oven to 450F.

Place the ribs on a rack over a baking tray (lining the tray with parchment to save on the clean-up) and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then decrease the temperature to 350F and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until the ribs are crisp and tender.
