Honey-Chipotle Glazed Ribs

By Jillh929

A chipotle sauce gives these oven-roasted ribs a smoky flavor. Once they're tender, finish them on the grill with a honey glaze.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup mustard powder
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 2 racks pork spare ribs (2 1/2 pounds each)
• Vegetable oil, for grates
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine chipotles, 1/4 cup honey, mustard powder, 3 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper.

2.Place a large double layer of foil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place ribs on top and rub with chipotle mixture. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and bake on sheet until meat is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

3.Heat grill to medium-high; clean and lightly oil hot grates. Remove ribs from foil, letting excess liquid drip off. Brush ribs with 1/4 cup honey and grill until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut between bones to separate ribs and serve with lemon wedges.
