Sweet and spicy chili pork ribs

Warning: This IS NOT a low-fat diet food. If you are worried about extra inches, cholesterol and whatever health-stuff, please avert your eyes. Click on the healthy food category you can find on the right. If not, considered yourself warned.

Now that I got that outta the way, let me continue with the succulent, juicy, spicy, did I mention succulent?, chili pork ribs. Now, this recipe works on any kind of ribs. So, you can use it on baby back ribs. Even human ribs. Whatever. Although I’d prefer that you don’t use it on human ribs. That’s just SO disturbing. But, this is one rib recipe that’ll stick to YOUR ribs. Or mine, to be exact. Here’s what I meant…

Didn’t I say its succulent and juicy and damn good? Now, lets get on to it already. I am getting hungry just looking at these pictures.

Grilled Sweet and Spicy Chili Pork Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

2 large pork ribs (or any other ribs you like)

4 tbsp hot chili sauce (I used Nando’s hot peri-peri sauce but you can go ahead and use any other brand)

4 - 6 tbsp sweet chili sauce (this is definitely different than the hot chili sauce as it has a sweeter base)

2 tbsp ketchup

2 tbsp organic brown molasses

4 tbsp powdered peanuts

3 tbsp flax seeds

Instructions

1. Season the ribs with the hot chili sauce, ketchup and organic brown molasses for at least 10 minutes. Sprinkle the flax seeds over it. Why flax seeds? Because they are good for you and SO MUCH healthier than sesame seeds. Oh, and I do have a post on benefits of flax seeds coming up. Lookout for it.

Heck, if you wanna be clogging your arteries with these ribs, might as well add in something that will help to clear the clog a bit. But if you wanna use sesame seeds, be my guest.

2. Sprinkle the powdered peanuts on top. Why? Because I said so. Don’t like powdered peanuts? Too bad, this is my recipe and I will add whatever I want.

If you opted outta using the powdered peanut, I really, seriously pitied you. It makes a difference you know. It really does.

3. Now comes the easy part. Slide the ribs into the oven. Drizzle the sweet chili sauce on top and grill in the oven for 10 minutes. Then turn over and drizzle more of the sweet chili sauce on top and grill another 5 minutes. Then turn over and drizzle the sweet chili sauce again. Grill 5 minutes and I swear it’s for the last time drizzle more sweet chili sauce and then grill another 5 minutes. Be very, very generous with the sweet chili sauce. You want the ribs practically smothered in it. Don’t worry, those ribs are dead anyway so they don’t need any breathing space.

Now, on to the final important part…
