I loved my Yum Yum Chicken recipe. It used a Korean inspired sauce that was delicious. As soon as I tried it on the chicken, I knew I had to try it as a glaze for ribs.

Fortune shone on me and the local supermarket had a decent price on a rack of side ribs. It was time.

I started by trimming the ribs to a St. Louis cut. I cut a straight line parallel to the straight edge of the ribs just above the knuckle on the longest rib. Then I cut the flap off the end of the ribs to square them up.

I used a paper towel to grip the silver skin on the back of the ribs and pull it off.

I cut the trimmings into about 1 to 1 ½ inch cubes to make rib tips for future use. See my post on rib tips for details.

I sprinkled Bub and Mutha’s rub over the ribs and the trimmings.

I preheated my Traeger Timberline to 240 F (115 C) and put the ribs and rib pieces on. I smoked them for 2 hours.

I brought the ribs in and put them on foil.

I spread 25 ml (2 tablespoons) of honey over the ribs and dotted them with 25 ml (2 tablespoons) of butter.

I wrapped the foil around the ribs leaving an opening. I poured 125 ml (1/2 cup) orange juice into the foil and finished sealing it.

I put it back on the smoker for 2 hours.

While the ribs were cooking, I made my Yum Yum Sauce by mixing the following in a saucepan:

  • 25 ml (2 tablespoons) chili sauce
  • 25 ml (2 tablespoons) honey
  • 25 ml (2 tablespoons) brown sugar
  • 20 ml (4 teaspoons) ketchup
  • 15 ml (1 tablespoon) minced garlic
  • 8 ml (1 1/2 teaspoon) soy sauce
  • 5 ml (1 teaspoon) sesame oil
  • 5 ml (1 teaspoon) rice vinegar
  • 3 ml (1/2 teaspoon) ground ginger
  • 1 to 3 ml (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) Sriracha, optional

I heated it until it just started bubbling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.

After the ribs had cooked in the foil for 2 hours, I removed them from the foil and brushed them with the Yum Yum sauce. I cooked for 15 minutes longer.

I brushed the ribs again and cooked for another 15 minutes.

I cut the ribs into 2 rib sections and served them with Easy Smoker Potatoes and a nice Caesar Salad.

The Verdict

These were terrific. The sauce gave them a sweet/tangy glaze and the ribs were fall from the bone but not so much they fell apart as you were eating them.
