It's time for the big game, Giants vs Patriots... We're not going to get into the politics of who we think will win, but it does present the perfect opportunity to get your mates round and watch the game with some great food!
Well what better that some sticky ribs and spicy chicken wings to get your your mouth watering? These slow-cooked pork ribs with a homemade sticky marinade and super spicy chicken wings are perfect munch with mates.
preheat the oven to 160°C.
peel and slice the onion, ginger and garlic.
fry in a small saucepan for 3-4 minutes until softened and sweet.
squeeze in the tomato ketchup along with all other marinade ingredients and bring to the boil.
lay the rack of ribs into an oven-proof tray and pour the marinade over.
rub the marinade all over the ribs making sure every last bit gets covered.
wrap tin foil tightly over the top of the tray to seal the ribs in and braise in the oven for 2 hours.
melt the butter in a pan.
spoon in all the spices and salt and squeeze in the lime juice.
score the drumsticks (if using with a sharp knife and put them into a big bowl)
pour the marinade over the raw chicken and move it all about so everything is covered.
place the chicken pieces onto a baking tray, baste over the extra marinade and cook in the oven uncovered for half an hour alongside the ribs for the last half hour of their 2 hour cooking.
turn the oven up to 220°C and remove the foil from the ribs and cook for another 10 minutes.
remove the ribs carefully from the tray onto a chopping board.
slice just to the side of each rib… the meat should be almost falling apart.
stack these onto a board with the wings and tuck in... make sure you have plenty of paper napkins to hand!
