Cooking Tips

• For extra smoky flavor, you can add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the glaze.
• If you prefer a spicier glaze, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
• To make the ribs more tender, you can marinate them in the glaze overnight before baking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the ribs, place them on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the ribs with your favorite barbecue sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans.
