Tips

Preparation

  • The membrane on the back makes ribs tough – remove it so they stay soft.

Cooking

  • Leave the lid on during cooking – opening it lets heat escape.

Serving

  • Make double sauce if you like, and serve extra at the table.

Variations

Flavor

  • Stronger BBQ: add 1 tsp chili flakes or 1 tsp cayenne to the rub.

Health

  • Choose a BBQ sauce with less sugar, and skip the honey for a lighter glaze.

Method

  • No oven? Brush with sauce and give 10–15 min over high heat on a grill pan.

Toppings

  • Top with scallions or fresh parsley when serving.
