Method
 

Marinate the Ribs
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to create a luscious marinade. Generously coat the pork ribs with the mixture, ensuring every crevice is filled with flavor. Cover the ribs and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
Prep the Grill
  1. While the ribs are marinating, prepare your grill. Preheat it to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F, and ensure the grilling surface is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the Ribs
  1. Once your grill reaches the perfect temperature, place the marinated ribs directly on the grate. Grill them for about 20 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste the ribs with additional honey and BBQ sauce during grilling to create a glossy, caramelized finish.
Check for Doneness
  1. To ensure your Honey Garlic BBQ Ribs are cooked to perfection, check that they reach an internal temperature of 185°F for optimal tenderness. The meat should be juicy and fall off the bone with a lovely char.
Rest and Serve
  1. After grilling, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
