Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 2 pounds boneless pork ribs (cut into bite size pieces)
Sauce and Seasonings
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the riblets.
- Prepare the Riblet Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized pork ribs with BBQ sauce, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, black pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the sauce and spices.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the coated riblets into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake Until Tender: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the pork is fork-tender and the sauce is thickened with a glossy, caramelized finish.
- Serve: Serve the Honey BBQ Riblets hot over rice or mashed potatoes for a delicious and hearty meal.
Notes
- Ensure the pork ribs are cut into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce mix.
- For extra caramelization, you can broil the riblets for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Use a baking dish that is suitable for oven use and allows some space for the sauce to bubble.
