Method
Prep the Ribs:
-
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat dry with paper towels. Rub ribs with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Wrap and Bake:
-
Place each rack of ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 2½ to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.
Make the Glaze:
-
While the ribs are baking, combine all glaze ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5–8 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Glaze and Broil or Grill:
-
Remove ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap. Brush generously with the spicy sticky glaze.
Rest and Serve:
-
Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes, then slice between bones and serve with any remaining glaze or extra BBQ sauce on the side.

ENJOY!
