Recipe Box, Asian Glazed BBQ Ribs

January may seem like a funny time to post a BBQ ribs recipe, but even if you’re up to your boot tops in snow, you can make this lip smacking recipe in your oven!
My husband has decided to learn how to cook. He has always grilled, but nothing fancier than a bottled marinade or BBQ sauce and perhaps a potato or vegetables wrapped in foil…
Now he’s reading cookbooks, studying recipes, and prepping in advance
He made several things earlier in the week that he proclaimed successes, { I was opting for salads and lighter fare,} but when he announced he was making baby back ribs, I was all in…
The sauce is an Asian style sauce, with hoisin sauce as the base
Note: We cut the rack into 2 pieces and froze half. Plan on one rack of ribs for every 3-4 people
He put a liberal coating of Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper on the ribs before putting on the grill, cooking over indirect heat for the first hour, then direct heat for an additional 30 minutes, glazing during the last 10 minutes
I was very impressed! We both agreed that these were some of the best ribs we’ve ever had…
This from a guy that has cooked a frozen pizza on the cardboard circle, and a cornish hen in the oven without a pan… 😱 🔥
We have had chillier weather in the South this past week, but the grill is usually always going, rain, sleet or shine…
Oven cooked ribs are also delicious, and the method is so easy. Salt and pepper the meat on both sides, place it on a large piece of heavy duty foil, and cover both sides liberally with sauce. Wrap tightly, place in a shallow pan and bake at 275 for 3-4 hours or 300 for 2-3 hours
Unwrap ribs and slather with more sauce. Place under broiler for a few minutes to crisp up if desired
This recipe was adapted from Hoisin Glazed Baby Back Ribs, Weber’s Art of the Grill

Asian Glazed BBQ Ribs
Ingredients
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 T chopped fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 T sesame oil
- kosher or sea salt freshly ground black pepper
- toasted sesame seeds
- 1 rack baby back ribs
Instructions
Sauce
- Combine hoisin sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for several minutes to blend flavors. Use immediately, or refrigerate until needed.
Grill Method
- Liberally coat meat with salt and pepper. Place fat side down on a medium hot grill, about 350, over indirect heat, coals on one side of grill and meat on the other. Turn over after 30 minutes. After cooking indirectly for 1 hour, move meat to side of grill directly over coals, with meaty side up. Cook 20 minutes and then baste with sauce. Repeat 1 or 2 times, taking ribs off the grill after 10 more minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into individual ribs. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with additional sauce if desired.
Oven Method
- Liberally coat meat with salt and pepper. Salt and pepper the meat, both sides then place in on a large piece of foil, and cover both sides liberally with sauce. Wrap tightly and bake at 275 for 3-4 hours or 300 for 2-3 hours. Unwrap ribs and slather with more sauce. Place under broiler for a few minutes to crisp up if desired
So it may be January, but you can pretend it’s summertime with these BBQ ribs!

Your hubby’s Asian-style ribs sound lip-smacking good Jenna! My SIL turned us on to ribs in the oven, so easy and good! I had to chuckle at the pizza on the cardboard and hens without a pan 🙂 Boston Butt was on sale this week so we’re firing the the Egg on Saturday for some pulled pork to for the pigskin playoffs and the Panthers game on Sunday.
Go Panthers!! We’ll be rooting!
sound delish!
I chuckled at the Cornish hen without a pan! Good for you! Something you can do together and it looks delicious. We must get together sometime and have the men prepare our dinner! Haha.
Oh my…those ribs look amazing!….and a great substitute for having to grill out…as who wants to grill when It is 30 degrees outdoors…my hubby certainly will not!…and I love the cornish hen story…sounds like my hubby!…Have a great weekend!
Thanks Shirley, my hubs and son will cook out in any weather, I think it’s a macho guy thing, and it does keep them busy and out of my kitchen 🙂
Jenna, These ribs look and sound so yummy! We keep the grill going as long as possible, even up here in snow country! We even did filet mignon on the grill for Christmas dinner (brave hubby and the other men ventured forth to the grill) and it was so delicious. I keep all his cooking outside–not yet ready for him to try the real oven! 🙂 Linda
ha! It’s hard to share the kitchen, but I love someone else cooking dinner! thanks Linda-
These ribs look delicious Jenna! We use the grill all year, only the windy, coldest days are blocked off the calendar. Your hubs has the right ingredients, sounds really good. Nice he’s taking an interest now. I think I remember you mentioning you have a green egg. Does he do brisket? If he does maybe he will share his recipe. My husband grills, I love that! Love the pics, especially the beach scene, and I think I know where it is. Sure looks good on the chilly evening.
Have a great weekend…
Hi Emily, my son cooked brisket last year and I posted about it here http://thepaintedapron.com/2015/02/01/recipe-box-grilling-with-bobby-flay/ . He used a recipe from Bobby Flay and cooked it on the green egg, it was really good! I will put in a request and see what they can come up with for a new recipe- >
Your man’s got talent Jenna! Those ribs look totally awesome!
No one is more surprised than I am!! He made bernaise sauce last night! >
Oh la la!
Had to chuckle at the cornish hens in the oven:@) The ribs sound amazing and hoisin sauce would be a new food to me!
Do not fear the hoisin Lynn! It’s just bbq sauce and it’s magic! >
It is way too early in the morning for me to be craving ribs. Congrats to your Mr. on a great recipe!
They look divine!
Holy cow…these look amazing!
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
