Categories     Entree     Appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds pork spare ribs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic ( finely minced )

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F / 165 C / Gas Mark 3 and line a large baking pan or roasting pan with foil.
  • If it hasn't already been done, the silverskin (aka membrane) needs to be removed from the bone side of the racks of ribs. To do this, ease a butter knife or narrow metal spatula under the skin at one end.
  • Then grasp the loosened skin with a paper towel or cloth towel (the towel will keep your hand from slipping) and pull the skin. It should peel off in one sheet. (If not, use the knife to loosen the opposite end of the membrane and try pulling again.)
  • Cut the ribs into 1-rib pieces or serving size portions.
  • Season the spareribs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Arrange the ribs in the prepared baking pan.
  • Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until tender.
  • Drain off all of the excess fat and liquids.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the honey, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 350 F / 180 C / Gas Mark 4. Drizzle or brush the honey and garlic sauce mixture over the spareribs.
  • Continue baking uncovered for 30 minutes, basting frequently. Serve and enjoy.

  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help them cook more evenly. You can also trim any excess fat.
  • Make the honey garlic sauce: Combine honey, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Bake the ribs: Place the ribs in a baking dish and pour the sauce over them. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 300°F for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.
  • Broil the ribs: Once the ribs are cooked through, remove the foil and broil them for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized.

Conclusion:

Baked Honey Garlic Ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and smothered in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck! Here are some additional tips for making the best honey garlic ribs:
  • Use a good quality honey. The better the honey, the better the ribs will taste.
  • Don't overcook the ribs. The ribs are done when they are tender and cooked through, but not so overcooked that they are dry.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the sauce to set and the ribs will be easier to handle.
