Oven-Roasted Honey Barbecue Ribs

Jason and I were talking last week and he questioned why I wasn't hosting a Super Bowl party this year. It's not that I don't love having my family over for food and game watching, it's the fact that I hate standing in the kitchen all day making a bunch of meat dishes that I can't eat. That probably sounds petty, but what's that new thing about tossing out things that aren't sparking joy going around lately? Stressing myself out over making everyone else happy doesn't spark any joy in me, so this year I tossed out hosting game day gatherings. However, spare ribs have been dirt cheap this week, so to spark a little joy for my husband and daughter, I picked up a slab to make them for dinner this week while I enjoyed some leftover soup. I haven't used my roasting pan since Christmas, so I dusted it off, pulled up this Honey Barbecue Ribs recipe from Golden Blossom Honey, and got to work.  

Work is the wrong word to use here though, because there really isn't much work involved with this recipe. You just simply whip the sauce ingredients together on the stove for a few minutes, marinate, then bake for 2 hours. In 3 hours you have juicy, fall off the bone ribs without barely lifting a finger in the process. I was a bit concerned with the sauce when I added in the chicken broth, thinking this is way too runny, but trust me folks, once it's about done baking it will thicken and you'll have a nice sweet and sticky honey BBQ glaze. The only thing I did different with this recipe was cranked up my broiler after the initial 2 hour baking time and let the glaze get a little blackened (about 10 minutes under the the broiler) because that's the way my family likes their sauce. While I didn't eat any of the ribs, I did lick the glaze off of my fingers and it was scrumptious. With the grunts and mmmm's coming from the family during dinnertime, I'm going to say the ribs ended up tasty too. If you're hosting a game day party this year, put these on the menu! If not, tuck it away for an easy Sunday dinner. Or both. Nobody said you couldn't enjoy this recipe all year round :)
