• Holiday Category: N/A
• Preparation Time: Over 1 hour, less than 1 day

Ingredients

• Honey-Whiskey Sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, peeled and sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 cup Irish whiskey
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 4 cups homemade chicken stock or
•     canned low-salt chicken broth
• 1/2 cup demi-glacé or concentrated chicken broth

Directions

1. Put the ribs in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until fork tender, about 1 hour, skimming the water occasionally to remove the foam.
2. Transfer ribs to a large baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. To make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil and cook the onion and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in all the remaining ingredients except the demi-glacé or concentrated chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce reduces by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Stir in the demi-glacé. Pour half the sauce over the ribs and bake, turning once, until the ribs begin to brown, 30-40 minutes. Slice the meat into 4 or more ribs per person and serve with remaining sauce.
5. Serves 4 to 6 as a first course
