  6. Grill the ribs in batches

    Shake excess marinade off the ribs and arrange them in one layer. Turn them when browned underneath. Lower the heat if the sugar starts to scorch and cook until the thickest meat stays at 75°C or higher for 1 minute. Cook in batches to avoid crowding. Discard the raw marinade and transfer cooked ribs to a clean plate.
