    Spicy-sweet ribs are the perfect finger food for summer – hot out of the oven and dripping with sauce, just ready to be gnawed off the bone as soon as you can grab them without burning your fingers.

    Here, they’re coated in honey and hot pepper sauce and slowly oven-roasted to keep them tender, not to mention saving a lot of work for the cook. The total cooking time is pretty long, but almost all of that is hands-off; no need for a lot of fussing around.

    Spicy Honey-Glazed Ribs

    To get that sweet-spicy contrast, there is a fair amount of honey in this recipe, and it’s basically required. You could do a completely sweetener-free version, but it would end up being really spicy; most people will probably prefer the taste with the honey included.

    Taking the membrane off the ribs isn’t technically necessary – you can cook them with it on, and they’ll still taste great – but if you remove it, the finished product will have a better texture.

    It shouldn’t take long to remove, and with the rest of the recipe so simple, it’s not like you’ll be scrambling to get it done in between ten other things.

    Try your ribs with a fruity sweet potato salad and some grilled peaches for dessert, or your favorite combination of other quick sides for an easy meal that tastes as if you worked on it all day.
