Orange Glaze
Preheat smoker to 300F
Prep/ Trim & Season your ribs with your favorite BBQ Seasoning
Smoke ribs for 45 minutes then spritz with water. Spray every 30 minutes thereafter until ribs are done. Cook until ribs are flexible, but not falling part, around 3 - 3.5 hours.
Combine the Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the orange juice, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic. Stir everything together over medium heat.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by about half. This should take about 10–15 minutes, and the flavors will concentrate and combine perfectly.
Once the sauce has reduced, add the cornstarch slurry to thicken it. Stir constantly as it heats to ensure the glaze gets smooth and shiny. You’ll know it’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
When your ribs are almost done smoking, brush the glaze generously over them and let them cook for another 15–20 minutes on the smoker, just to let the glaze set and get sticky.
After removing the ribs from the smoker, brush on one last layer of glaze. Slice, serve, and enjoy that citrusy kick!
