Y’all, let me tell you about this mouthwatering BBQ recipe that’s been driving my family absolutely crazy (in the best way possible)! Every time I make this, my neighbors come “casually strolling by” hoping for an invitation. Can you blame them? The aroma alone is worth the visit! 😉
Let’s dive into my Honey-Bourbon Glazed BBQ Ribs with a twist that’ll make your taste buds dance. Trust me, ladies and gents, this one’s a keeper!
What you’ll need (because we’re fancy like that):
– 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
– 3 cloves minced garlic
– Your favorite BBQ rub
– Apple cider vinegar
– A sprinkle of patience
Now, here’s where the magic happens (and honey, it’s pure magic):
1. First things first, remove that pesky membrane from the back of the ribs. Nobody wants that tough business ruining their dinner!
1. Generously apply your BBQ rub all over those ribs like you’re giving them a spa treatment. Let them sit for at least 2 hours (overnight if you’re a planning queen like me).
1. Here’s my secret trick – before grilling, steam those babies in foil with a splash of apple cider vinegar for 2 hours at 250°F. This makes them fall-off-the-bone tender!

1. While the ribs are steaming, let’s make that heavenly glaze. Mix bourbon, honey, brown sugar, and garlic in a saucepan. Simmer until it thickens (about 15 minutes). Try not to drink it – I know it smells amazing!
1. Fire up that grill to medium-high heat. This is where the real show begins!
1. Remove the ribs from the foil, and grill them while basting with our bourbon glaze every 5 minutes. About 15-20 minutes total should do it.
The end result? Sticky, sweet, slightly boozy, and absolutely divine ribs that’ll have everyone begging for seconds. Pair it with some coleslaw and cornbread, and honey, you’ve got yourself a feast fit for royalty!
I typically serve these bad boys with a cold glass of sweet tea (or something stronger if the kids are at grandma’s 😉).
