Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 1/4 cup freshly grated ginger
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ribs: Start by cutting the racks of ribs into portions suitable for serving, typically into 2 or 3 rib pieces. This will ensure they cook evenly and are easy to manage on the grill.
-
Marinate the Ribs:
- For convenience, place the rib portions in 2 large plastic freezer bags or lay them flat in a large dish.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, dry sherry, and freshly grated ginger until well combined.
- Divide the marinade evenly between the plastic bags or pour it over the ribs in the dish.
- Seal the bags as tightly as possible, pressing out as much air as you can, and use a ziplock or twist tie to ensure the bags are sealed close to the meat. If using a dish, turn each rib to ensure an even coating of the marinade and cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
-
Marinate: Refrigerate the ribs for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat. For best results, marinate up to 2 days in advance.
-
Preheat the Grill: When you’re ready to cook, bring the marinated ribs to room temperature. Lightly oil your BBQ grill and heat it to a medium temperature.
-
Grill the Ribs:
- Drain the ribs, reserving the marinade for basting.
- Place the ribs on the preheated BBQ grill. Grill with the lid closed, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade. Cook for approximately 10 minutes.
- Discard any remaining marinade that has come into contact with the raw meat.
-
Finish Cooking: Continue grilling the ribs, turning them frequently, until they are richly glazed and cooked to your liking. This final step should take about 8 to 10 more minutes.
Serving Suggestions: Serve the Garlic Chinese Ribs hot off the grill with a side of steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy the savory, sweet, and tangy flavors that will surely become a family favorite!
