When it comes to barbecue, nothing beats a plate of tender and juicy ribs. And if you're looking for something with a little bit of heat and zest, then the Honey Habanero Lime ribs might just be your new go-to. These mouth-watering racks are first rubbed down with Lane's Chili Lime rub before being slathered in honey-habanero-lime glaze. The combination of sweet honey, spicy habanero, and tangy lime creates a flavor explosion that will have you licking your fingers clean. Whether you prefer to cook them low and slow on the grill or in the oven, these sticky and smoky ribs are perfect for backyard barbecues or game day get-togethers.
