Optional: remove the membrane on the back of the ribs for more tender results.
Bake the ribs:
Place ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 2–2.5 hours until tender.
Make the honey garlic sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add garlic and sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant (don’t burn).
Stir in honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili flakes. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Glaze the ribs:
Preheat broiler or grill.
Brush the ribs generously with honey garlic sauce.
Broil or grill for 5–7 minutes, watching carefully, until caramelized and sticky. Repeat brushing and broiling for extra glaze if desired.
Serve:
Slice ribs into portions and garnish with parsley or green onions.
Serve with your favorite sides like rice, roasted veggies, or coleslaw.
💡 Tips:
For an even deeper flavor, marinate the ribs in the honey garlic sauce for 2–4 hours before baking.
Leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
Adding a splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar at the end brightens the sweetness.
If you want, I can also give you a quick stovetop or slow-cooker version that makes these sticky honey garlic ribs in under 1 hour. Do you want me to share that version too?
