Cooking Tools
Parchment lined sheet tray
Heavy sauce pan
Directions
Preheat oven 375 Degrees F. Place rack of ribs on a parchment lined sheet pan. Evenly coat ribs with Chinese five spice, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and sugar. Place in oven and roast for 1 1/2 hours. For the last 45 minutes, baste ribs with the Five Spice Lacquer (recipe below) every 15 minutes. (save some for final basting when the ribs are cut and served). You can grill the ribs but keep an eye on the temperature, with such a high sugar content, the sauce on the ribs can burn quickly.
