Easy Spicy and Sticky Spare Ribs

This is much easier and quicker if you pre cook the ribs earlier in the day or even the day before, and then braai or grill it when needed. You can use Spare Ribs or Loin Ribs (baby back Ribs), Loin ribs have more meat and considered to be more tender, but spare ribs probably have more flavour. You can’t go wrong with either!

Notes

As almost all recipes on here, you can customise this to your liking. If you like it extra hot, add a chili. If you don’t like spice much, maybe use butter chicken spice, or something mild. They all work, use what you like. The yoghurt and the honey balance the taste if you worried about hotness.
