Step-by-Step Guide to Making Sweet Honey Party Ribs
1. Prepare the Pork Ribs
The best thing about this viral trend recipe is that the ribs are cut into individual pieces, making them easier to cook and serve. Take your rack of ribs and carefully cut between each bone, separating them into individual ribs.
2. Season the Ribs
Use Bachan’s Sweet Honey as a binder, coating the outside of each rib. Then, season with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a light coat of BBQ rub. Make sure to evenly coat the back of the ribs, top of the ribs, and sides of the ribs for maximum flavor.
3. Smoke the Party Ribs
Preheat your pellet smoker to 275°F and use cherry pellets for a rich, smoke flavor. Place the ribs directly on the smoker grates and let them smoke for about 2 hours, or until they develop a good bark and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
4. Wrap the Smoked Sweet Honey Party Ribs in Foil
Once the ribs reach 165°F, transfer them to a foil pan. Add pats of butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and a drizzle of Bachan’s Sweet Honey. Cover tightly with heavy duty foil and return the ribs to the smoker for another 45 minutes. This method helps ensure tender ribs by locking in moisture.
5. Finish and Glaze
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and let the ribs cook uncovered for another 15 minutes to allow the sauce to tack up. This step enhances the flavor and texture of the hot honey party ribs.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of 200°F, remove them from the smoker and place them on a cutting board. Brush them with a basting brush using the Sweet Honey Glaze, then garnish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Tips for the Best Smoked Sweet Honey Party Ribs
- Use a paper towel to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better seasoning penetration.
- Apple cider vinegar is a great way to spritz the ribs every 30 minutes during smoking to keep them moist.
- Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Classic BBQ Sides to Serve with Smoked Sweet Honey Party Ribs
This creamy, cheesy dish takes traditional mac and cheese to the next level by adding a rich, smoky flavor. Made with a blend of cheddar, gouda, and mozzarella, it’s cooked in a smoker until it develops a golden, crispy crust on top while remaining velvety smooth inside.
Slow-cooked in a tangy, smoky sauce, BBQ baked beans are the perfect side dish for ribs. Made with bacon, brown sugar, and a hint of mustard, these beans bring a hearty and slightly sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with the smoky richness of baby backs.
This refreshing twist on a classic cowboy caviar combines black beans, corn, tomatoes, and bell peppers with pasta for a hearty and flavorful side. Tossed in a tangy lime dressing, it adds a fresh, zesty contrast to the smoked party ribs.
Creamy, tangy, and packed with crispy bacon, this potato salad is a crowd favorite. The combination of ranch dressing, red potatoes, and fresh herbs makes it a delicious complement to your pork ribs, balancing out the sweetness of the glaze with a rich and savory bite.
