Honey Garlic Ribs

Honey Garlic Ribs

Description:
Honey garlic ribs are tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic sauce. Slow-cooked or baked until perfectly juicy, then glazed for a rich finish, these ribs are a crowd-pleasing favorite for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

• 2 racks pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Honey Garlic Sauce

• ½ cup honey

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons ketchup

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

3. Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and cover tightly with foil.

4. Bake for 2½–3 hours until ribs are very tender.

5. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar. Simmer 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Remove ribs from oven and increase temperature to 400°F (205°C).

7. Brush ribs generously with honey garlic sauce.

8. Return ribs to oven uncovered and bake 10–15 minutes, brushing once more, until glazed and caramelized.

9. Rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips and Variations

• Grill ribs for the final glaze instead of baking for a smoky finish.

• Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

• Serve with coleslaw or cornbread.
