Delicious Sticky Honey BBQ Ribs Recipe

This Sticky Honey BBQ Ribs recipe features pork ribs slow-cooked to tender perfection, then glazed with a homemade honey BBQ sauce for a rich and flavorful finish. The dish takes about 2 hours from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork ribs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of flavor)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ribs: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.
- Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a bowl, combine honey, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create your glaze.
- Coat the Ribs: Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush a generous layer of the honey BBQ sauce all over the ribs, reserving some for later.
- Bake: Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours or until tender.
- Glaze and Broil: Remove the foil and brush the ribs with more of the honey BBQ sauce. Broil in the oven for 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes after broiling, then cut into portions. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve hot with your favorite sides.
