Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ribs:

  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a knife to loosen it, then grab it with a paper towel and pull it off.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Rub the ribs with olive oil (optional) and sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make sure the ribs are evenly coated with the seasoning.

2. Bake the Ribs:

  • Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down.
  • Cover the ribs tightly with foil to trap moisture and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bones.

3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • While the ribs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, vinegar, and ketchup. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
  • (Optional: To thicken the sauce more, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with ¼ cup water and stir it into the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened.)

4. Finish the Ribs:

  • Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and carefully discard the foil.
  • Brush the ribs generously with the honey garlic sauce on both sides.

5. Broil or Grill:

  • To Broil: Set the oven to broil and place the ribs back in the oven, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes until the sauce becomes caramelized and sticky.
  • To Grill: Alternatively, you can place the ribs on a hot grill for a few minutes, brushing with more sauce and flipping once, until the ribs are nicely glazed and slightly charred.

6. Serve:

  • Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones.
  • Serve with extra honey garlic sauce on the side and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
