Huli Huli Ribs with Sriracha BBQ Sauce
These Huli Huli Ribs with Sriracha BBQ Sauce are my version of a traditional Hawaiian dish. This recipe makes tender and juicy baby back pork ribs that are smothered in spicy seasonings, cooked to perfection, then doused in a sweet and spicy Sriracha BBQ sauce. So, we’re starting our Huli Huli Ribs with…yep, you guessed it…a killer seasoning blend! First, mix together garlic salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ancho chile powder. Next, without removing the membrane from the ribs, lather the baby back pork ribs with oil. Secure the ribs into your grilling basket and skewer onto a rotisserie OR set up your grill for medium heat cooking for the ribs. Say Hello to Huli Huli Ribs with Sriracha BBQ Sauce – Let’s Get Cooking! Next, it’s time to cook and you have a couple of cooking options. Huli Huli is Hawaiian for a style of rotisserie cooking. We emulated this technique using a rotating grilling basket because we wanted to keep it more authentic. However, another option for cooking is to simply place the ribs directly on the grill, flipping as needed to cook all over. So, preheat to a medium temperature of about 325ºF. Next, add the ribs to the grill and allow them to cook for 2 to 2.5 hours. If you are cooking the beef directly on the grill or in a grilling basket, place the bone side toward the fire and the fat side up for the first 45 minutes of cooking time. This allows the fat to drip down over the meat will baste it for a richer flavor and more tender texture. Thirty minutes into cooking the ribs for the Huli Huli ribs with Sriracha BBQ sauce, spritz the meat with a mixture of pineapple juice and apple cider vinegar to make sure the meat doesn’t dry out. Repeat the spritz step every 15 minutes. The more moisture the better! At 2 hours, check the internal temperature of the ribs to see if they are at 170ºF. If not, continue cooking, checking every few minutes until the beef reaches the correct internal temperature.

Sriracha BBQ Sauce for the Huli Huli Ribs Next up, our Sriracha BBQ sauce, because Huli Huli Ribs need this sauce. Trust me. This sauce is a perfect explosion of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. So, start the Sriracha BBQ sauce process about 30 minutes before the ribs are done. Place a basting skillet over the fire at a medium-high heat, then add in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, and Sriracha. Simmer until the brown sugar is dissolved and the sauce is fully incorporated and bubbling. Next, pull the sauce off the grill and begin basting the outside of the ribs during the last 10 minutes of their cooking time.
