Honey Garlic Ribs 

Honey garlic ribs are a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the sweetness of honey with the savory richness of garlic. Here’s a basic recipe to make honey garlic ribs:

Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 pounds of pork ribs (baby back ribs or spare ribs)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for brushing the grill or oven rack)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using a grill, prepare it for indirect grilling by lighting only one side and leaving the other side unlit.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger (if using), black pepper, and salt to create the honey garlic marinade.
3. Place the pork ribs on a large baking sheet or in a shallow dish, and pour the honey garlic marinade over them. Make sure the ribs are coated evenly with the marinade. You can use a brush or your hands to spread it evenly.
4. If grilling: Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the ribs on the unlit side of the grill (indirect heat), close the lid, and cook for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Turn the ribs occasionally and baste them with the marinade throughout the cooking process.If baking in the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the marinated ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and bake for about 2 to 2.5 hours, occasionally basting with the marinade. After baking, you can broil the ribs briefly to caramelize the glaze and add a little extra char if desired.
5. The ribs are done when the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C) for pork ribs.
6. Once the ribs are cooked to your desired level of tenderness and have a nice glaze from the honey garlic marinade, remove them from the grill or oven.
7. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting them into individual servings.
8. Serve the honey garlic ribs hot, and you can garnish them with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and presentation.

Honey garlic ribs are a crowd-pleaser and can be served with various sides such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables to complete your meal. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of this delicious dish!
