Hey there, foodies! Get ready to elevate your backyard BBQ game with this mouthwatering recipe that’ll have your neighbors “casually” peeking over the fence! Trust me, I’ve made this countless times, and it never fails to impress.
Today, I’m sharing my absolute favorite Brown Sugar Bourbon Glazed Ribs – a recipe that turned my BBQ-skeptic husband into a believer (and yes, that’s a big deal!).
Let me tell you, these ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender with a sticky-sweet glaze that’ll have you licking your fingers shamelessly. No judgment here – I do it too! 😉
What You’ll Need:
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/3 cup bourbon (and maybe a splash for the chef? I won’t tell!)
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons honey
– Your favorite dry rub
– Apple cider vinegar
– Heavy-duty aluminum foil

The Magic Method:
1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs (nobody likes that chewy bit!)
2. Generously apply your dry rub and let it sit for at least 2 hours (overnight if you’re a planning queen)
3. Preheat your grill to 225°F for indirect cooking
4. Wrap those babies in foil with a splash of apple cider vinegar
5. Grill for 2.5 hours, or until tender
While those ribs are working their magic, let’s make that heavenly glaze:
1. Melt butter in a saucepan
2. Add brown sugar, bourbon, and honey
3. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes)
4. Try not to drink it straight from the pan (I’ve been tempted!)
For the final act:
1. Unwrap those ribs
2. Brush with glaze
3. Grill directly for 5 minutes each side
4. Brush with more glaze (because more is more, darling!)
Pro tip: Let them rest for 10 minutes before cutting. I know it’s hard to resist, but trust your girl on this one!
Y’all, if these ribs don’t make you the star of your next BBQ, I don’t know what will! They’re literally so good, my vegetarian sister “accidentally” took a bite last summer and couldn’t stop!
