Honey Garlic Sticky Pork Ribs with Jalapeno BBQ Sauce
Today we're doing St. Louis cut sweet and spicy sticky pork ribs, although you can use baby back ribs as well, on the pellet grill. We're going to apply the rub, get them in the smoker for a couple of hours, and then wrap and braise in butter, garlic, honey, and brown sugar. After that they'll be brushed with my candied jalapeno bbq sauce and placed back into the smoker unwrapped to finish them off.
- Pork Ribs
- 1 Garlic Bulb
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Stick of Butter
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
- 4 tablespoons Salt (or to taste)
Trim the excess fat and square up the ends of the ribs.
Salt both sides of the ribs and let sit for 15 minutes,
Apply the BBQ rub to both sides of the ribs.
Preheat the smoker to 250F and place ribs. Check for color and temp in about 2 hours. Internal temp should be 165F
Remove the ribs from the smoker. On a sheet of foil lay down the honey, butter, brown sugar, and garlic.
Place the ribs meat side down into the ingredients and double wrap tightly.
Place the ribs back into the smoker for another 2 hours. Temp should be around 210F when finished.
Pull and unwrap the ribs, and brush with the BBQ sauce.
Back into the smoker for 15 minutes to let the sauce set up.
Enjoy!
