Honey Chipotle Ribs

I am not a grill master. I leave that to my husband. Not that I couldn't BE a grill master, I just haven't really tried to grill. That being said, I have a delicious rib recipe that can be done in your oven! You can absolutely char them on the grill after they are done baking to get the authentic bbq taste but its not a necessity!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup(yes, CUP) mustard powder
coarse salt and ground pepper
2 racks pork spare ribs(2.5 lbs each) you can also use one 5lb rack of ribs

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine chipotles, 1/4 cup honey, mustard powder, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper.
2. Place a large double layer of foil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place ribs on top and rub with the chipotle mixture. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and bake on sheet until meat is fork tender, 2 to 2.5 hours.
3. This step is totally optional(the grill portion)Heat grill to medium-high heat; remove the ribs from foil, letting excess liquid drip off. Brush the ribs with 1/4 cup honey and grill until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. If you don't grill them, just brush them with the honey, its still tasty!
