Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
With a sharp knife, cut between the ribs of the nine strips (three per rack) to divide into riblets.
Step 2
Mix together all remaining ingredients in a bowl to create a marinade. Add riblets and stir to coat well. Let riblets marinate at least 3 hours, or overnight in refrigerator, turning them occasionally in marinade.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 4
Place riblets, separated, on a roasting pan or jelly roll pan. Bake 35 to 50 minutes, depending on meatiness of ribs, basting every 10 minutes. Serve hot.
