Origin and Cultural Significance
Sticky-style ribs are a beloved fusion of East-meets-West cooking. While ribs have deep roots in American barbecue culture, the honey garlic glaze draws inspiration from Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine—where balance between sweet, salty, and tangy is key.
This recipe is a delicious celebration of that global culinary blend—no grill or smoker needed.

Tips for Success
✅ Pre-boil or bake low-and-slow first to make ribs tender before glazing
✅ Let the sauce reduce for a stickier, richer coating
✅ Broil briefly at the end to caramelize the sauce
✅ Cut ribs into individual pieces after cooking for easy serving
✅ Rest the ribs before cutting to keep them juicy

Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Prepare Ribs:
Pat ribs dry. Optionally, remove the silver skin from the back for more tenderness.
3. Bake the Ribs:
Place ribs on the tray, cover with foil, and bake for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
4. Make the Sauce:
In a small pan, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes.
(Optional: Thicken with cornstarch slurry if you want a more glaze-like texture.)
5. Glaze & Broil:
Brush the ribs generously with the sticky sauce. Broil for 5–8 minutes, watching closely until caramelized and glossy.
6. Serve:
Cut into portions, garnish, and serve with extra sauce on the side.

These ribs are tender, juicy, and coated in a sticky-sweet garlic glaze that hits every taste bud. The honey caramelizes under the broiler, giving the ribs that signature golden shine and slightly crisp edge, while the meat stays succulent inside.
Prepare to get messy—in the best way.
