Sticky Honey Garlic Ribs

1. Prep the Ribs

Pat ribs dry with paper towels.

Remove the silver membrane on the back (optional but recommended).

Cut ribs into 2-bone sections for easier handling.

Place on a baking tray lined with foil.

2. Bake Low and Slow

Cover ribs with foil and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway.

This process ensures ribs become tender without drying out.

3. Make the Sticky Honey Garlic Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine:

honey

soy sauce

brown

sugar

minced garlic

vinegar

red pepper flakes

optional orange juice

Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Stir in butter at the end for extra shine.

4. Glaze & Caramelize

Remove ribs from the oven and discard any juices on the tray.

Brush or spoon glaze generously over each rib.

Increase oven to broil (450°F / 230°C).

Return glazed ribs to oven for 5–7 minutes, flipping and brushing again halfway for maximum stickiness.
