What Are Party Ribs?

Party ribs are a game-changer for BBQ lovers who want to enjoy ribs in a fun and convenient way. Instead of cooking a whole rack, party ribs are pork ribs that have been pre-sliced into individual pieces before cooking.

This makes them easier to eat, share, and serve at gatherings. Because each rib is separated, the sides of the ribs get more exposure to smoke and seasoning, resulting in a deep, flavorful bark.

This technique not only enhances the cooking time but also allows the ribs to absorb more of the delicious honey sriracha mixture, ensuring each bite is perfectly seasoned and tender.

Whether you’re grilling for a tailgate, party, or family dinner, party ribs are an excellent alternative to traditional racks of ribs.

Why Make Party Ribs vs. a Whole Rack of Ribs?

Choosing party ribs over a whole rack has several advantages. First, they cook faster since each piece is individually cut, reducing overall cooking time while still delivering tender ribs.

Additionally, the dry rub and smoke can penetrate each rib fully, providing a more evenly cooked result.

Another key benefit is convenience. Since the ribs are already cut, they are easier to serve and eat. There’s no need to carve or slice them after cooking—just grab a rib and enjoy. This makes them ideal for large gatherings or backyard BBQs where guests prefer finger foods over plated meals.

Finally, the party ribs method ensures that each rib is coated with the honey sriracha mixture, maximizing the flavor.

Instead of just basting the outside of a rack, every single rib gets coated in the remaining sauce, making them the best ribs for those who love bold, sticky flavors.

Ingredients for Smoked Honey Sriracha Party Ribs

For the Ribs

• 2 racks of thick baby back ribs or spare ribs
• 2 tbsp SPG (salt, black pepper, garlic powder)
• 2 tbsp Honey Garlic Sriracha Rub from Ninjacue
• 2 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

For the Honey Sriracha Sauce

• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ½ cup honey
• 3 tbsp sriracha sauce
• 2 tbsp Bachan’s Original
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp ginger paste

How to make Smoked Honey Sriracha Party Ribs

Prepare the Ribs

Remove the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs. Cut between each bone to create individual party ribs.

Use Bachan’s as a binder to help the seasoning stick, then season thoroughly with SPG and Honey Garlic Sriracha Rub.

Smoking The Party Ribs

Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F and add maple bourbon pellets for a rich smoky flavor.

Place the ribs directly on the grill grates and smoke for 2 hours, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes.

Make the Honey Sriracha Sauce

Once the ribs are about 15 minutes away from being wrapped, put together the Honey Sriracha sauce. Melt the butter over low heat in a skillet making sure that the butter does not burn.

Stir in the honey, sriracha sauce, Bachan’s, garlic powder, and ginger paste.

Whisk the sauce every minute for 5 minutes until all of the ingredients well combined. Set the sauce aside and let it cool down.

Sauce and wrap the ribs

Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of 170-175F and develop a bark, transfer them to a baking sheet or foil pan.

Pour the honey sriracha mixture over the ribs, cover with foil, and return to the smoker for another hour.

Remove the foil, baste the ribs with the remaining sauce, and smoke uncovered for 15 more minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and tack up.

Serving the Smoked Honey Sriracha Party Ribs

Remove from the smoker when the ribs reach an internal temperature of 195F.

Baste the ribs again with the honey sriracha mixture, then sprinkle green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the ribs. Serve immediately.

These Smoked Honey Sriracha Party Ribs are guaranteed to be a hit at your next gathering. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or a BBQ beginner, this recipe delivers tender ribs with a crave-worthy sweet and spicy glaze.
