- In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, and paprika.
Cooking
- Place the ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Generously brush the sauce mixture over the ribs.
- Cover the ribs with another piece of foil and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
- Remove the foil and baste the ribs with additional sauce. Broil for an additional 5–10 minutes.
- Let the ribs rest before cutting into portions. Drizzle extra glaze over the top and garnish.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the ribs in the honey garlic sauce overnight in the fridge. Use a meat thermometer to ensure ribs are properly cooked (190°F/88°C for tenderness).
