The weather here has been very good (for November!). My children even ran around yesterday without jackets on.
So that means the trusty barbecue can still be in use. Prolonging the grill season is always a good thing. But just because it's called "barbecue" sauce, don't you worry, it works just fine in the oven too ;) tee hee. Works for any type of meat: chicken, ribs, fish, etc.
This is an easy to make sauce and so very tasty. Both my kids liked it and wanted more, which is a pretty big deal in this house.
...

Brush the sauce over ribs during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Serve.

ReplyDeletewhat exactly is red chili sauce?
ReplyDeleteI was cleaning up my email and realized I did not answer your question Heather. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteSweet red chili sauce is quite popular in thai cuisine. You can find bottles of it in the ethnic aisle of bigger chain grocery stores.
