Honey Garlic Barbecue Spare Ribs

What’s for dinner tonight? I’m digging in for some Honey Garlic Barbecue Spare Ribs, care for a bite? I always liked spare ribs and I enjoy getting my hands dirty to savor these tasty pieces of meaty bones.

The thing that I like most in this recipe is the balance flavors: it is not too sweet; not too salty; not overpowering. It is also Asian inspired.

Lucky for me, all the spare ribs that I get from our local butcher are naturally tender. All I need to do is marinate and bake them right away. If in case you have doubts on the spare ribs that you have, try putting some meat tenderizer to soften the meat. Boiling is another option too, though it may take out some of the meat’s natural flavor.

Try this Honey Garlic Barbecue Spare Ribs recipe and let me know what you think.

Notes

Overnight marinating – For deeper flavor, marinate the ribs overnight in the refrigerator. The honey and soy sauce penetrate better when given more time.

Broiler finish – After baking, broil the ribs on high for 2 to 3 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Foil tent – Cover the baking tray loosely with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes to keep the ribs moist, then remove the foil to let the surface brown.

Scaling – This recipe doubles easily. Use a larger tray and avoid overlapping the ribs so each piece browns evenly.

Leftovers – Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 325°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes to restore the glaze.
