- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl to form a slurry, then slowly whisk it into the sauce. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Glaze the Ribs:
- Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and discard the foil.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the ribs with a layer of the sticky honey garlic sauce.
- Grill the ribs for about 5-7 minutes per side, basting with more sauce and flipping occasionally to ensure theyโre evenly coated and get a nice char.
5. Serve:
- Once the ribs are nicely glazed and caramelized, remove them from the grill.
- Slice them into individual ribs or sections and serve with extra sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Slow Cooking Option:ย You can also cook the ribs in a slow cooker on low for 6-7 hours before glazing and finishing them on the grill or under the broiler.
- Sticky Texture:ย For a thicker sticky glaze, reduce the sauce on the stove longer or use less water in the cornstarch slurry.
- Add Heat:ย If you prefer spicier ribs, increase the red pepper flakes or add some chili paste to the sauce.
Enjoy your Sticky Honey Garlic Ribs! The sweet and savory flavor paired with the tender, juicy meat is perfect for a BBQ or any gathering.
