Chipotle Glazed Pork Ribs

Ingredients

For the ribs

• 2 racks baby back pork ribs (about 3 lbs total)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

For the Pipo Perico Chipotle Glaze

• ½ cup Chipotle Pipo Perico Hot Sauce
• ¼ cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder

Directions

1. Prep the ribs. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat dry.
2. Season. Rub the ribs with olive oil. Combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly over both sides of the ribs.
3. Cook low and slow. Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 2–2½ hours, or until tender.
4. Make the Pipo Perico Chipotle Glaze. In a small saucepan, combine Chipotle Pipo Perico Hot Sauce, ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and garlic powder. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
5. Glaze the ribs. Remove the ribs from the oven and uncover. Brush them generously with the Pipo Perico Chipotle Glaze.
6. Caramelize. Place the ribs under the broiler for 3–5 minutes, watching closely, until the glaze becomes sticky and lightly caramelized. Brush with an additional layer of glaze if desired.
7. Serve. Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra Pipo Perico Chipotle Glaze on the side.

Tip: Pair with grilled corn, coleslaw, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
