Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs pork ribs baby back or spare ribs
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if you have one.
  • Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs. Pat dry with paper towels. Cut into individual ribs or keep them whole.
  • In a small pot, mix honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, pepper, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens a bit.
  • Brush the ribs with a little sauce. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2 hours to make them tender.
  • Take off the foil. Turn oven up to 425°F (220°C). Brush on more sauce and bake uncovered for 10–15 minutes. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a sticky, caramelized finish.
  • Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes. Serve with extra sauce on top if you like.
