Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork spareribs
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.25 cups Irish whiskey
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Irish whiskey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and kosher salt until well combined.
Place the pork spareribs on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over them, coating both sides evenly.
Pour half of the honey marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes to help them become tender.
After 60 minutes, remove the foil covering the ribs. Brush the remaining marinade over the ribs, making sure to coat them completely.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking the ribs uncovered for an additional 30 minutes or until the glaze is caramelized and the ribs are cooked through.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as colcannon (Irish mashed potatoes with cabbage) or roasted vegetables.
