Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork ribs or chicken legs and wings
• 2 inches (grated) Fresh ginger
• 3 whole (minced) Garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 stalks (chopped) Green onions
• 1 tbsp (optional for garnish) Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the protein: If using ribs, cut them into individual rib portions. If using chicken, ensure the legs and wings are cleaned and patted dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Make the marinade: In a large bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Marinate the meat: Add the ribs or chicken to the bowl and coat thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top (if available) to allow for even heat circulation.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated ribs or chicken on the prepared baking sheet, reserving the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the meat and baste generously with reserved marinade. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the ribs are caramelized and tender or the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temperature for chicken).

Step 7

Optional: For extra caramelization, place the ribs or chicken under the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice, a side salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
