- Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan: Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and red pepper flakes.
- Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly.

Notes
For the Thai Style Sweet Chili Ribs, make sure to pat the ribs dry before seasoning to help the salt and pepper adhere better. Monitor the ribs closely when baking at 400°F; every oven behaves differently, and you want to avoid burning the glaze while achieving that perfect caramelization.
