Hot Honey Ribs Recipe
– 3 slabs St. Louis Spare Ribs
– 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Sauce
– 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub
For the Rib Wrap:
– 1 cup light brown sugar
– 10oz apple juice
– 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey
– 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce
– 3 sticks salted butter (split in half lengthwise)
For the Rib Glaze:
– 1 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
– 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey
Directions:
1. Trim ribs and remove membrane. Apply light coat of hot sauce for a binder and season well with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
2. Prepare pit for smoking at 275°F using hickory wood for smoke flavor. I used my Outlaw stick burner pit but any smoker/indirect grill will work just keep the temp steady at 275°F.
3. Place the ribs on the pit and smoke for 2 hours. Spritz with water if the outside starts to look dry after an hour in the smoke.
4. Make the rib wrap liquid – combine brown sugar, apple juice, hot honey, and vinegar sauce in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 3 1/2 minutes and allow to cool at room temp.
5. To wrap the ribs remove each slab from the pit; use a double layer of aluminum foil; place the ribs meat side down on the foil, add 1/2 cup of wrap liquid to each slab; place 1 stick of the butter over the top; and close the foil around the ribs.
6. Place the ribs back on the pit and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Internal temp should be around 202-205°F.
7. Rest the ribs in a dry cooler for 1 hour before glazing.
8. To glaze: place each rack on a foil covered raised cooling rack meat side down; dust with a little Hot Rub and place back on the pit for 5 minutes; brush with The BBQ Sauce and cook for 7 additional minutes. Flip the ribs over and dust the meat side with Hot Rub and return to the pit for 5 minutes. Brush the meat side with The BBQ Sauce and drizzle with Hot Honey; blend the honey in with the bbq sauce and return to the pit for 7 additional minutes to set.
9. Cut the slabs into individual bone pieces and serve.

Adding that butter is so american. Why add to your cholesterol.
Don’t visit India or Pakistan go to Morocco … sweatiness all over… By the way when you sucker from the state of Missouri became a food hub … only thing I do remember a dish I do like from that part of world is called gambo !!! God bless her soul a lady I met in my life from that part of the world was a grandmother to me and great grandmother to my kids … !!!
Welcome back Malcom 👋🏾
Damn I’m doing this for Super Bowl
Jesus man, you're my Hero! First time seeing your channel, you got a sub for Life!
brother why are you waiting for the weather to improve to cook?
I really enjoy watching your BBQ Things. I am a BBQ looser , never get the result i was looking for
Dude those look so good! Gonna try this recipe next weekend.
Did this today. They were awesome. And the spice level was just right!
Hello good to see u back ribs looking yummy as always👍🏾💯❤😊
You know Spring is just around the corner when Malcolm puts out his first vid of the year! *Punxsutawney Who…? 😂
Those look absolutely delicious.
Thank you sir! You are the reason I finally got into smoking meats. Keep up the excellent videos. My family appreciates it and my son who is 9 is always asking fo me to smoke some type of meat. Your videos were very well made and easy to follow . The local BBQ shop smokingdudes always says wow you sure do like BBQ Hogs products because that's all I usually buy.
I hope i never get to the point to where i need a cell phone to smoke ribs
Always great smokin with Malcolm. I’ve found that an overnight brine in salt water with a little apple cider vinegar before the smoke really kicks the flavor up to the next level. Thanks, Malcolm.
Germany is watching You too man .
I just have a Weber kettle. I’ve only been able to pull off ribs like that a few times but I keep trying to!!!
How in the world has Malcom and Guga not done a proper meetup
Awesome
They look delicious. I love his videos.
Good looking ribs!! Malcolm is the man!
Holy hell man im just realizing this channel is pushing 2 million subs. Ive been watching you for at least 10 years, utterly amazing to see how far this channel has come.
The trimmed bits – use them as Malcom said, or if nothing else, cook a mean stock from them Just don't throw out perfectly fine meat, nothing wrong with it other than the chewy bits in it!
just perfection ❤
