This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who loves spicy food.

This dish was just okay. The ribs were a bit tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The ribs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different recipe for the ribs, but the sauce is definitely worth trying.
