Girl, let me tell you about this mouthwatering BBQ recipe that’s been driving my family absolutely wild! Every time I make this, my neighbors somehow “coincidentally” drop by right around dinner time – I see what y’all are doing! 😉
This isn’t your average slap-some-sauce-on-it BBQ recipe. We’re talking about fall-off-the-bone tender baby back ribs with a homemade honey bourbon glaze that’ll make you want to kiss your fingers (and maybe the chef too!).
Here’s what you’ll need, babe:
2 racks of baby back ribs
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne (or more if you’re feeling spicy!)
Salt and pepper to taste
For that heavenly glaze:
1 cup bourbon (save a little for yourself, I won’t judge!)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. First things first, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Trust me on this one – nobody wants that chewy business!
1. Mix all your dry ingredients to create your rub. Get in there and massage that rub all over those ribs like you’re giving them a spa treatment!
1. Here’s my secret trick: wrap those babies in foil and let them chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight if you’re a planning queen).

1. Preheat your grill to 225°F for indirect cooking.
1. Place the wrapped ribs on the grill and let them cook for 2.5 hours. Meanwhile, let’s make that glaze that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe.
1. In a saucepan, combine all glaze ingredients and simmer until reduced by half (about 15-20 minutes). It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
1. After 2.5 hours, unwrap those ribs (careful, they’re hot!), brush with the glaze, and put them back on the grill for another 30 minutes, brushing with more glaze every 10 minutes.
The result? Tender, sticky, sweet-and-smoky ribs that’ll have everyone thinking you’re a BBQ goddess!
Pro tip: Serve these bad boys with some creamy coleslaw and cornbread. And maybe hide some in the kitchen for yourself before they all disappear!
Y’all, I can’t tell you how many marriage proposals I’ve gotten because of these ribs (sorry fellas, I’m taken!). But seriously, they’re that good!
