Rib Candy Ingredients
Method
Rib Candy Directions
Prepare the Ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption. This helps to ensure that the seasoning penetrates the meat.
Marinate the Ribs
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade. Place the ribs in a large ziplock bag or dish and pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to allow for slow cooking, which will make the ribs tender and flavorful.
Bake the Ribs
Place the marinated ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
Glaze the Ribs
During the last 30 minutes of baking, brush the ribs with additional marinade to create a sticky glaze. This step is crucial for achieving that 'candy' texture.
Finish and Serve
Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into individual portions and serve warm, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
