A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful baby back ribs with a honey-infused barbecue glaze.
Preheat your oven to 300°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Mix the barbecue sauce and honey in a bowl until well combined.
Warming the honey slightly can make it easier to mix.
Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
Mixing the spices ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel before applying the rub for better adhesion.
Place each rack of ribs on a sheet of aluminum foil, meat side up, and brush generously with the barbecue sauce mixture.
Use a basting brush for an even coating of sauce.
Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Sealing the foil well helps retain moisture during cooking.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
Check the ribs halfway through to ensure they are cooking evenly.
Carefully open the foil and brush the ribs with more barbecue sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.
This step caramelizes the sauce for a sticky, flavorful finish.
Optional: Broil the ribs for 5 minutes to achieve a charred effect.
Keep a close eye on the ribs while broiling to prevent burning.
Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the ribs more tender.
