**Sticky Bones**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a large baking dish lined with aluminum foil.
2. Start by preparing the ribs. Remove the thin membrane from the back of each rack by sliding a knife under the membrane and pulling it off with a paper towel for a better texture.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Place the racks of ribs in the prepared baking dish and brush them generously with the sticky glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, sealing the edges to keep the steam inside while baking. This will help tenderize the ribs and infuse them with flavor.
6. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through. Baste the ribs with the glaze every 30 minutes to build up that beautiful sticky coating.
7. Once the ribs are done, remove them from the oven and carefully uncover the baking dish. Switch the oven to broil on high.
8. Brush the ribs with another layer of the sticky glaze and place them back in the oven under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and sticky, with a tantalizing sheen.
9. Keep a close eye on the ribs under the broiler to prevent burning, and rotate the baking dish if needed for even browning.
10. Once the Sticky Bones are glazed to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual ribs.
11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving the Sticky Bones hot and ready to enjoy!
These Sticky Bones are a true delight for any occasion, whether it’s a family dinner, backyard BBQ, or a cozy night in. The rich flavors and sticky glaze make them a standout dish that will have everyone asking for more. So, gather your loved ones and savor the irresistible goodness of these finger-licking ribs – a perfect blend of sweet, savory, and succulent satisfaction!
