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

kosher or sea salt freshly ground black pepper

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.

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!
