_Sips iced tea_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about a BBQ recipe that’ll have your neighbors “casually” wandering into your backyard! Trust me, I’ve made this at countless gatherings, and it’s always the star of the show.
Let’s talk about my Honey-Bourbon Glazed Baby Back Ribs that’ll make you want to kiss your fingers (but don’t, because they’ll be deliciously messy! 💋).
First things first, honey! Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1/2 cup bourbon (save some for yourself, I won’t judge!)
– 1/3 cup honey
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– Your favorite BBQ rub
– A splash of love (and patience!)
Now, let me walk you through this mouthwatering journey:
1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs (nobody likes that tough stuff!). Generously massage your BBQ rub all over those beautiful ribs like you’re giving them a spa treatment.
1. Here’s my secret trick: wrap them in foil, but before sealing, add a splash of apple juice. This keeps them super tender and juicy! _chef’s kiss_
1. Pop these babies in your preheated grill at 225°F using indirect heat. Let them hang out for about 3 hours.
Y’all still with me? Because this is where the magic happens! Speaking of magic, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance! 💃
1. While the ribs are doing their thing, let’s make that glaze that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe. Combine bourbon, honey, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer until it gets thick and sticky (kind of like your fingers will be later!).
1. After 3 hours, unwrap those ribs and brush them generously with your glaze. Let them cook for another 30 minutes uncovered, basting every 10 minutes.
When they’re done, the meat should be practically falling off the bone, and that glaze? Oh honey, it’ll be caramelized to perfection! Let them rest for 10 minutes (I know it’s hard, but patience is a virtue!).
Cut them up, serve them hot, and watch as your guests fight over the last piece! I’m telling you, these ribs are better than a Friday night date! 😉
