- Prep the Ribs:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- If the ribs have a membrane on the back, remove it by loosening it with a knife and pulling it off; this helps the ribs cook more tenderly.
- Season the ribs with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Bake the Ribs:
- Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil, placing them meat side down on a baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender but not falling apart.
- Prepare the Honey Garlic Glaze:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ketchup, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to reduce slightly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Glaze the Ribs:
- Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil.
- Brush the ribs generously with the honey garlic glaze, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Broil the Ribs:
- Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and starting to caramelize. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve:
- Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting them into individual pieces.
- Serve warm with extra glaze drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
Tips for Perfect Honey Garlic Ribs:
- Slow Cooking: Slowly baking the ribs at a low temperature ensures they become tender and easy to eat off the bone.
- Final Broil: Broiling the ribs at the end helps to caramelize the glaze, adding a delicious depth of flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these ribs with a side of coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
