Hey there, foodies! Get ready to elevate your afternoon BBQ game with this mouthwatering recipe that’s been stealing hearts at every backyard gathering. Trust me, as someone who’s hosted countless BBQs, this one’s a total game-changer!
Let me introduce you to my Honey-Bourbon Glazed Baby Back Ribs with a twist of sweet heat. Y’all, these ribs are so tender they practically fall off the bone with just a glance! _winks_
What you’ll need:
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1/2 cup bourbon (and maybe a little extra for the chef? Just saying! 😉)
– 1/3 cup honey
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
– 2 tablespoons garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon cayenne (adjust if you’re feeling spicy!)
– Sea salt and black pepper to taste
The Secret Sauce (literally):
– 1 cup BBQ sauce
– 2 tablespoons bourbon
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
Okay, ladies and gents, let’s get cooking! First things first, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs (nobody likes that chewy bit, trust me on this one!). Mix all your dry ingredients for the rub and massage it into those ribs like you’re giving them a spa treatment – they deserve it!

Now, wrap those babies in foil and let them chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours – overnight if you’re a planning queen like me. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to 225°F (indirect heat). This is where the magic happens!
Place the wrapped ribs on the grill and let them cook for 2.5 hours. Meanwhile, whisk together your sauce ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. The bourbon flavor will make your neighbors jealous, I promise!
After 2.5 hours, unwrap those beauties, brush them with your sauce, and let them cook for another 30 minutes uncovered. Keep basting every 10 minutes – we want them sticky and gorgeous!
The final result? Fall-off-the-bone tender ribs with a sticky-sweet glaze that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe. Pair it with some coleslaw and cornbread, and honey, you’ve got yourself a feast!
Pro tip: Save some of that sauce for dipping – thank me later! 😘
