Spicy Chinese BBQ Riblets

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Chinese BBQ Riblets.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This is the perfect temperature to get those riblets nice and tender. In a large mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, white wine, soy sauce, white sugar, tomato paste, chopped garlic, and hot pepper sauce. Stir everything together until it's well mixed and you have a deliciously thick sauce that will coat your riblets beautifully.

2. Step 2

   Next, take your riblets and place them in a large roasting pan. Spread them out evenly so they can cook uniformly. Pop the pan into the preheated oven and let them bake uncovered for about 45 minutes. This initial baking will help render some of the fat and start the cooking process.

3. Step 3

   After 45 minutes, it's time to give those riblets some love! Carefully pour the prepared sauce over the riblets, making sure to toss them gently to coat every piece. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking, stirring occasionally, until the riblets are tender and the sauce has thickened. This should take another 45 minutes, but keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overcook. The aroma will be irresistible!
