Sticky Honey Garlic Ribs

Instructions

Prepare the Ribs:

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for maximum tenderness.

3. Season the ribs on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

4. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover tightly with another sheet of foil.

5. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender and cooked through.

Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

2. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened (about 5–7 minutes).

3. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer until glossy and thick.

Glaze and Broil:

1. Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully discard the top foil.

2. Brush the ribs generously with the honey garlic sauce.

3. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) or switch to broil.

4. Broil the ribs for 5–7 minutes, watching carefully, until caramelized and sticky.

Serve:

• Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing.

• Brush with any remaining sauce and sprinkle with optional garnishes like sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
