Ingredients:
For the Chicken Rib Marinade:.
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Glaze:.
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
For the Chicken Rib Delights:.
- 2 pounds chicken ribs
- Oil for grilling
Instructions:
Step 1: Marinating the Chicken Ribs
In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined.
Place the chicken ribs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the ribs are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
This will allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
Step 2: Preparing the Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients and cook over medium heat until the brown sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Grilling the Chicken Rib Delights
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken ribs from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the ribs are cooked through and nicely charred, basting with the glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 4: Serving the Chicken Rib Delights
Transfer the chicken rib delights to a serving platter. Serve them hot with additional glaze on the side for dipping, if desired.
They are perfect as an appetizer, a main dish when paired with your favorite sides, or even as a finger food for parties and gatherings.
