THE MOST TENDER COUNTRY STYLE HONEY BBQ RIBS



The Most Tender Country Style Honey BBQ Ribs image

This is a personal recipe i came to figure out on my own through trial and error, i am not a huge fan of chewy or hard ribs so i found a way to make the meat extremely tender and everyone i make these ribs for has LOVED them, i hope who ever tries my recipe enjoys them as well! I preffer to use country style ribs without the bone, that way you get more meat for your money. As far as sause i love kraft's honey barbecue sause. You can use a cookie sheet for this but i have found that a baking dish with handles works a lot better and easier with the tinfoil

Categories     Pork

Time 2h15m

Yield 1-2 rack of ribs, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs country-style pork ribs, thawed (without the bones)
honey barbecue sauce (your choice of sauce)
2 teaspoons minced onion flakes
2 -3 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 tablespoon garlic salt
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a dish sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic salt, seasoning salt and minced onion flakes all over, then take each slice of rib and rub both sides with the seasoning mixture. Make sure each rib is well coated.
  • 2. Line a baking dish with heavy duty foil and spray with pam, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3. Place ribs inside the baking dish and inside the oven for 20minutes until meat is browned on both sides. You can flip them over halfway.
  • 4. Take ribs out and brush on honey bbq sauce on top of ribs generously and put back in oven for another 20minutes until sauce is caramelized. Once sauce is caramelized add more sauce to the top of the ribs.
  • 5. Cover the baking dish with foil well to make sure no steam can come out but try not to touch the top of the ribs. Make sure all sides are well sealed and put back into the oven.
  • 6. Turn oven down to 250 degrees so sauce won't burn and let them bake for 2-3 hours. After two hours have passed, pull back a corner of the foil and poke one of the ribs with a fork to check the tenderness of the meat, if you desire them to be even more tender put the tinfoil back over tightly and let them sit for another hour.
  • 7. After ribs are done peel back foil carefully as steam will come out, take out ribs cover with sauce again and they are ready to be served!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Country-style ribs are the best choice for this recipe, as they are meatier and have more flavor than other types of ribs.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or connective tissue from the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the ribs their amazing flavor. Be sure to use a combination of spices, herbs, and liquids that you enjoy.
  • Let the ribs marinate for at least 4 hours: The longer the ribs marinate, the more flavorful they will be. If you are short on time, you can marinate the ribs for as little as 30 minutes, but the results will not be as good.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook country-style ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs frequently: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a mixture of apple cider and butter will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Country-style ribs are delicious served with a variety of sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or baked beans.

Conclusion:

Tender Cider Barbecued Country Ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
