PREP THE RIBS

Warm up the oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to mix.

Cut two 24-inch-long sections of sturdy foil.

Arrange one piece on a large baking sheet, vertically. Next, lay a second sheet horizontally on top. They ought to form a cross. Next, arrange the ribs horizontally in the foil’s middle.

Apply the prepared spice mixture to the ribs on both sides.

Place the horizontal top piece over the ribs. Next, raise the vertical piece’s two ends so that they connect. To form a package, fold them down a few times.

For two hours, bake the ribs.

PINEAPPLE HABANERO BARBEQUE SAUCE

There’s no rush to start this sauce because the ribs need to simmer for two hours. Don’t start the sauce until the ribs are just about 20 minutes from done.

  • In a small saucepan, combine the habanero spicy sauce, pineapple juice, and barbecue sauce. To keep the sauce from sticking, cook it over medium heat and whisk often.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the ingredients are well combined and it slightly thickens.
  • Once the ribs are done, reduce the heat to low and keep the sauce warm. To ensure that the pineapple habanero sauce isn’t clinging to the pan’s bottom, give it a couple fast stirs.
  • To serve, set aside approximately ¼ cup of the sauce.

GLAZE THE RIBS

  • After taking the ribs out of the oven, cautiously open the foil wrapper. Be careful—there’s a lot of steam buildup inside!
  • To keep the ribs exposed, fold the foil downward. Flip the ribs over so the underside faces upward. The ribs ought to be extremely fragile and may break apart during rotation.
  • To flip the ribs, use two tongs. Using the tongs, grab each end of the ribs and place them in the center of the rack to give them support. Next, flip the ribs.
  • Apply approximately a quarter cup of the ready-made pineapple habanero barbecue sauce on the ribs using a silicone brush. For ten minutes, bake them.
  • Turn the ribs over carefully once more, then spray half of the leftover barbecue sauce on the top side. Give them ten more minutes in the oven.
  • After applying the leftover sauce to the ribs once more, bake them for an additional ten minutes.
