Show Dad some love this year with the "Classic Dad" Gift Bundle and this delicious Sticky BBQ ribs recipe that you can cook together. We took some classic BBQ ribs and paired it with a Thai inspired Peanut BBQ sauce using PB Love all-natural Classic Creamy peanut butter.
A traditional BBQ sauce has a base of ketchup, sugar and Worcestershire sauce. To personalize it you add spices, ingredients, or alternative sweeteners. This is where you can make culture influences to elevate your meal and ribs.
After seeing this twist on ribs from Half-Baked Harvest and drooling, we needed to share it with world.
