Spicy Korean Ribs

Yum. I found this recipe from Seasaltwithfood and I just had to switch my Superbowl app menu to include these. They were delicious and spicy. They were also easy to make. Just marinate and throw in the oven. Although, they were pretty spicy. Scot and I really like spicy food and we needed some milk after a few. Might have had something to do with the Jalapeno Poppers that we also had with them. The ribs were also really sweet.
