Spicy Barbecued Spareribs

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4. serving size: 1/2 pound of ribs.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds baby back spareribs, cut into serving pieces
1 cup chicken stock

Barbecue Sauce

1/2 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon powdered mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Dash of hot pepper sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Step 2

    Stir together 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle over the spareribs and rub in thoroughly. Place the coated ribs in a shallow roasting pan.

    Step 3

    Pour the chicken stock over the ribs and place the ribs in the oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours or until tender.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, prepare the barbecue sauce. Mix together the vinegar, honey, ketchup, mustard, paprika, hot pepper sauce, garlic, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.

    Step 5

    Remove the spareribs from the oven and place them in a broiling pan. Brush the spareribs with the barbecue sauce and return to the oven on the lowest rack. Set the oven to low broil, and broil the spareribs for 30 minutes, brushing frequently with the sauce. To tell when they’re done, pierce the meat between the bones with a fork. If the fork comes out easily, the meat is done.
