Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ribs
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for a more tender texture. Season the ribs on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Step 2: Bake the Ribs
- Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and juicy.
Step 3: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.
Step 4: Glaze and Broil
- Remove the ribs from the foil and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the honey garlic sauce generously over the ribs.
- Turn your oven to broil and cook the ribs for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and sticky. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the ribs between the bones and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides, like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
