Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp ketchup

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the ribs

2️⃣ Low & slow bake
- Wrap ribs tightly in foil
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 2–2½ hours until very tender
3️⃣ Make the sauce
- Simmer all sauce ingredients in a pan for 5–8 min
- It should thicken slightly and smell AMAZING

- Unwrap ribs, brush generously with sauce
- Bake uncovered at 425°F (220°C) for 10–15 min
OR - Grill 5–8 min, flipping & brushing more sauce
⚠️ Watch closely—honey can burn fast.
