  2. Marinate the ribs. Coat the ribs generously in the marinade. For the deepest flavor, let them marinate for up to 12 hours in the fridge — though even a short marinating time will still deliver great results.
  3. Reserve some marinade. Set aside a portion of the marinade to use for basting later; don't use it all up on the initial coating.
  4. Braai the ribs. Place the ribs over the coals and cook, turning frequently to prevent the sugars in the marinade from burning. Baste regularly with the reserved marinade as they cook.
  5. Serve. Once the ribs are cooked through and beautifully caramelized, remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Please Note: Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus up to 12 hours marinating time) Cook Time: 45–60 minutes Total Time: 1 hour – 1 hour 15 minutes (excluding marinating)
    Note: Cooking time may vary depending on coal heat, rib thickness, and desired tenderness — ribs are done when the meat pulls easily from the bone.
