Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 1 whole Habanero pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet or dish.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs and massage it in to coat evenly.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake the ribs in the oven for 90-120 minutes, or until they are tender.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the honey habanero glaze: Finely dice the habanero pepper, making sure to wear gloves to avoid irritation. Remove the seeds for less heat or leave them for maximum spiciness.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, diced habanero, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and butter. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the glaze is smooth and combined. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.
Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
Brush a generous layer of the honey habanero glaze over the ribs.
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and slightly sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the ribs hot, with any remaining honey habanero glaze on the side. Enjoy!
