_Sips iced tea_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about a BBQ recipe thatโll have your neighbors โcasuallyโ wandering into your backyard! Trust me, Iโve made this at countless gatherings, and itโs always the star of the show.
Letโs talk about my Honey-Bourbon Glazed Baby Back Ribs thatโll make you want to kiss your fingers (but donโt, because theyโll be deliciously messy! ๐).
First things first, honey! Hereโs what youโll need:
โ 2 racks of baby back ribs
โ 1/2 cup bourbon (save some for yourself, I wonโt judge!)
โ 1/3 cup honey
โ 1/4 cup brown sugar
โ 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
โ Your favorite BBQ rub
โ 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 youโre giving them a spa treatment.
1. Hereโs my secret trick: wrap them in foil, but before sealing, add a splash of apple juice. This keeps them super tender and juicy! _chefโs kiss_
1. Pop these babies in your preheated grill at 225ยฐF using indirect heat. Let them hang out for about 3 hours.
Yโall still with me? Because this is where the magic happens! Speaking of magic, if youโre loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes thatโll make your taste buds dance! ๐
1. While the ribs are doing their thing, letโs make that glaze thatโll 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 theyโre done, the meat should be practically falling off the bone, and that glaze? Oh honey, itโll be caramelized to perfection! Let them rest for 10 minutes (I know itโs hard, but patience is a virtue!).
Cut them up, serve them hot, and watch as your guests fight over the last piece! Iโm telling you, these ribs are better than a Friday night date! ๐

Until next time, keep that grill hot and your drinks cold! XOXO ๐ฅ
