Honey Barbeque Riblets

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the sauce: combine ketchup, water, honey, corn syrup, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, molasses, dry mustard, chili powder, and liquid smoke in a saucepan. Simmer 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Season ribs with salt, pepper, and garlic. Sear on a grill or under a broiler until mahogany in color and internal temperature reaches 155°F.

3. 3

   Place ribs on a rack in a deep roasting pan. Add a mixture of water and liquid smoke to the pan bottom (4:1 ratio), not touching the ribs. Seal tightly with foil.

4. 4

   Slow cook in a 275°F oven for 2–5 hours until meat is tender. Check periodically.

5. 5

   Finish on the grill or broiler until the bone marrow sizzles. Brush with Honey Barbeque Sauce just before serving.
