Succulent Honey Garlic Ribs

Ribs have always held a coveted spot on the barbecue menu. But when it comes to marinating and enhancing their flavor, there’s a myriad of directions you can take. If you’re looking for a dish that perfectly combines sweetness with a touch of zest, look no further than the Honey Garlic Ribs.

Ingredients:

  • 4 pounds pork spareribs
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Steps to Perfectly Baked Ribs:

  1. Preparation Phase: Begin by preheating your oven to a temperate 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Portioning: For even cooking and easier serving, slice the spareribs into individual pieces.
  3. Creating the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine your honey, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and freshly minced garlic. Stir this mixture until the honey and sugar are entirely dissolved. A small twist here – add in the baking soda. As you stir it in, you’ll notice the mixture foaming, which is expected.
  4. Coating the Ribs: Immerse the ribs into the bowl, ensuring they’re well-coated with the marinade. The trick to flavorful ribs is ensuring they are thoroughly marinated.
  5. Arranging for Baking: Prep a cookie sheet with foil, ensuring easy cleanup post-baking. Once ready, arrange the ribs meat-side up. Any excess sauce you have can be poured over the ribs for an added flavor punch. Finish by evenly sprinkling the garlic salt across the ribs.
  6. Baking to Perfection: Bake the ribs in your preheated oven. The key to perfectly tender and flavorful ribs is turning them every 20 minutes. After 1 hour, they should be cooked to perfection, ready to tantalize your taste buds.

The result? Succulent ribs that are both sweet from the honey and tangy from the garlic and vinegar. These ribs are not just a treat to your palate but also a feast for your eyes. So, the next time you wish to indulge in a culinary masterpiece or impress at a dinner party, you know which recipe to turn to. Enjoy every bite! 😋😋
