Equipment
- 16x9 Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 pounds pork riblets
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
Seasoning
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
- First preheat oven to 275℉. Next remove the riblets from the package.
- In a small bowl, mix the seasoning together. Next, season the riblets heavily with the seasoning.
- Now, in a baking dish add chicken broth and liquid smoke. Then, carefully lay the riblets on top. Earlier you seasoned heavy because some of the seasoning will wash away at this point.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the riblets for 1.5 hours in the preheated oven.
- While the riblets are baking, make the barbecue sauce on the stove top. Bring all the ingredients together and allow the sauce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the riblets are done baking remove them from the baking dish and allow them to rest for 15 minutes.
- Next, sauce the riblets then sear them on a griddle on the stove top or the grill outside if it is summer. For the oven, heat the oven to 400℉ and add the sauce riblets in for 10 minutes. For both methods brush with the sauce before serving for a final touch. Enjoy.
