    These Spicy Asian BBQ Ribs are finger-licking good! They’re packed with bold flavors from garlic, ginger, and hoisin sauce, with just the right amount of heat from sriracha. The sticky glaze caramelizes beautifully, giving the ribs a rich, smoky taste with a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy notes.

    This recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients and a foolproof cooking method. The ribs are baked low and slow until tender. Then finished under the broiler to get that irresistible char. If you’re making them for a backyard barbecue, game day, or a casual dinner, these ribs will be devoured!

    THE BBQ RIBS BREAKDOWN

    • 1 lbs of Pork Ribs
    • Olive oil spray

    HOMEMADE RUB

    • Organic coconut brown sugar
    • Garlic & onion powder, chile powder, cayenne, cumin, and cracked black pepper

    THE SPICY BBQ SAUCE

    • Sriracha – Keep it spicy!
    • A package Kevins Natural Foods Korean BBQ Sauce

    HOW TO MAKE THE RIBS

    HOW TO MAKE SPICY ASIAN BBQ RIBS-7

    Preheat the oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with alot of foil. I think I used half the roll of foil.

    Remove extra skin on the back of ribs with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.

    Mix your homemade rub and set aside in a small bowl.

    Grab another bowl, add sriracha with the bbq sauce.

    Use olive oil spray to spray ribs all around to help the rub hold. Spread the rub around on both sides. Using a brush, coat ribs with the spicy BBQ sauce.

    HOW TO MAKE SPICY ASIAN BBQ RIBS-8

    Wrap and cover ribs with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Set aside the sauce for basting the next hour.

    After one hour open up the foil and baste again with the same spicy bbq sauce and bake for an additional hour.

    When done baking, open up foil, and broil for an additional 5 mins.

    Get a sharp knife. Cut and separate the ribs. Baste it all over again. 

    Sprinkle some sesame seeds and green onions. Make it look drool worthy!

    Remember to taste test.  The spicy bbq sauce was just dripping over my fingers. I had to take a bite!

    PAIR THESE RIBS WITH

    • SOUR CREAM & CHIVES SMASHED TATER TOTS – These tater tots are mixed in with sour cream that makes for a delicious side along with these ribs.
    • CHEDDAR DROP BISCUITS – You would want to have these biscuits on hand to soak up the bbq sauce.
    • TERIYAKI GREEN BEANS – This is the time to add some veggies on your plate.

    Tips for the Best Spicy Asian BBQ Ribs

    • Remove the membrane – This makes the ribs more tender and allows the flavors to penetrate better.
    • Marinate for Extra Flavor – Let the ribs marinate in the glaze overnight for a deeper taste.
    • Watch the Broiler – The glaze can burn quickly, so keep a close eye while broiling.
    • Make it Spicier – Add extra sriracha or a dash of chili flakes for more heat.
    • Use the Glaze as a Dip – Make extra glaze to serve on the side for dipping.

    Substitutions and Variations

    🌶️ Spice Level: Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your heat preference.
    🍯 Sweetness: Swap brown sugar for honey for a slightly different sweetness.
    🍋 Tang: Add a squeeze of lime juice for a tangy twist.
    🥢 Texture: For crispier ribs, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
    🥩 Type of Ribs: Use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs if you prefer.

    Storage & Reheating

    🧊 To Store: Keep leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    🔥 To Reheat: Warm in a 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave until heated through.
    ❄️ To Freeze: Freeze cooked ribs in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

    FAQs

    Can I grill these ribs instead of baking them?
    Yes! Grill over medium heat for 30–40 minutes, basting with glaze regularly.

    How can I make the ribs less spicy?
    Reduce the sriracha or skip the red pepper flakes.

    Can I use a different type of meat?
    Yes, you can use beef ribs or pork spare ribs. Just adjust the cooking time as needed.

    How do I know when the ribs are done?
    The meat should pull away easily from the bone, and the internal temperature should reach 190°F–205°F.
