Recipe Items

Sticky, sweet, salty and spicy ribs! These have a great flavor profile, but the magic is in the cooking technique. We're slicing the ribs BEFORE smoking them, which allows for more cooking surface which means more rub which means more flavor. Not to mention, the cooking process takes a fraction of the time.

Asian Sticky Spare Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

1 rack St. Louis style spare ribs, sliced into individual ribs
Smoke on Wheels Pork Marinade
Chili Dawg's Habanero Seasoning
Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head Rub
Your favorite Teriyaki Sauce
Wildflower honey

Instructions

Place the individually sliced ribs into a zip top bag or Briner Bucket. Pour one bottle of Smoke on Wheels Pork Marinade in with the ribs. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Grill to 250ºF.

Remove the ribs from the marinade. Place in a foil pan. Season with Chili Dawg's Habanero Seasoning. Go light for less spicy ribs, heavier if you like the burn! Then season all meat surfaces with the Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head Rub. Let the rubs soak in for 5-10 minutes.

Place the ribs directly on the second shelf of the cooker. Smoke until ribs are tender and the meat can move freely from the bone, about 2-2.5 hours. Remove and place all the ribs in a foil pan. Mix two parts teriyaki sauce to one part Wildflower honey and pour enough over the ribs to coat them. Toss the ribs in the sauce until all sides are coated in sauce. Place the foil pan and ribs in the smoker and continue cooking another 15 minutes.
