⅓ cup ketchup
½ tsp Chinese five spice powder
¾ tsp gochugaru or red chili flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300F.
Salt the ribs on both sides.
Line a baking sheet with 2 sheets of aluminum foil (long enough to hold the length of the ribs.
Mix together: hoisin sauce, bbq sauce, ketchup, five spice powder, and gochugaru. Set aside ⅓ of the mixture for dipping later if preferred.
Baste ribs with remaining sauce on both sides.
Place ribs bone side down in aluminum and wrap tightly to cover.
Bake for 2 ½ hours.
Take ribs out and turn heat up to 450F.
Open up aluminum to uncover ribs and bake for 10 minutes or until sauce is shiny, sticky, and caramelized. Broil if needed but watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
Happy eating! Beckie
Notes
Pro - Tip - line your baking sheet with another sheet of aluminum foil in case the ribs leek from the package so no juices burn on your sheet pan.
Take out a little of the sauce mixture before basting the raw ribs if you're into dipping.
