16 bone-in 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick flanken-style American bison short ribs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Orange Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce, for brushing, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

SPICE RUBBED RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE-HONEY GLAZE

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 14h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup ancho chili powder
1/4 cup Spanish paprika
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry mustard
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup ground coriander
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons chile de arbol
1/4 cup canola oil
2 racks country ribs, 12 ribs each, membrane removed
1 1/2 cups clover honey
3 heaping tablespoons chipotle in adobo puree
Parsley sprigs, for garnish
Clover honey, to taste
Chipotle in adobo, pureed, to taste
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all spices in a small bowl.
  • Brush both sides of the racks with oil and liberally rub with the spice mixture. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator 45 minutes before smoking to allow them to come to room temperature.
  • Stuff several sheets of newspaper in the bottom of a charcoal chimney. Fill the chimney to the top with charcoal briquettes. Remove top rack from the barbecue. Put the chimney on the lower barbecue rack. Light the newspaper and let the charcoal burn until the ash is gray, about 20 minutes.
  • Open bottom barbecue vent. Turn out the hot charcoal onto 1 half of bottom rack. Using a metal spatula, spread charcoal to cover approximately 1/3 of rack and scatter half of the soaked wood chips over the charcoal. Put a loaf pan with water onto the coals.
  • Put the top rack on the barbecue. Put the ribs, rub side down, on the grill over indirect heat. Coals should be off to 1 side. Slowly cook the ribs until tender, adding more charcoal if needed, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Chipotle Honey Glaze:
  • Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Begin brushing the glaze on the ribs during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Put the ribs on a baking sheet; brush with a little more of the glaze and let stand 10 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and cut between the bones to separate the ribs. Arrange the ribs on a serving platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork rib. Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both good choices.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook more evenly.
  • Use a dry rub to season the ribs. This will help the ribs develop a nice crust.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow. This will help the ribs become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs with a sauce during the last hour of cooking. This will help the ribs stay moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the ribs reabsorb some of the juices and become even more tender.

Conclusion:

Honey chipotle ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone. Whether you are cooking for a party or just for your family, these ribs are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and impressive dish to make, give honey chipotle ribs a try.
