Directions
- Step 1: Prepare the Ribs
- Start by flipping the ribs so the bone side is up. Use a butter knife to loosen the thin membrane, then grab it with a paper towel and pull it off. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels, then rub olive oil evenly over both sides.prepped ribs on a metal pan In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle the seasoning all over the ribs, rubbing it in well. Let sit while you preheat your oven or smoker.party ribs with the spice mixture
- Step 2: Cook the Ribs Low and Slow
- For the oven: Preheat to 300°F (150°C). Place the ribs bone-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender and the bones start to peek through. Oven set to 300°F with ribs placed inside.For a smoker: Preheat to 225°F and smoke the ribs bone-side down for 5–6 hours using hickory or applewood chips. Mist with apple juice every hour to maintain moisture.
- Step 3: Make the Glaze
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, jalapeños, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in butter, let melt, then remove from heat and set aside.Overhead shot of all glaze ingredients in a pan.
- Step 4: Glaze and Finish
- Remove the ribs from the oven or smoker. Brush them generously with the glaze. Broil in the oven on high for 3–5 minutes or grill over high heat for a few minutes per side to caramelize the glaze. Watch closely so the sugars don’t burn.glazed ribs in the metal pan
