Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 5 pounds bison back ribs, cut into 2- to 3-rib portions

  • 2 (12 ounce) bottles chili sauce

  • 1 ½ cups orange juice

  • 2 teaspoons finely shredded orange zest

  • ½ cup finely chopped onion

  • cup cider vinegar

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Place bison back ribs in a 4- to 6-quart pot. Cover with water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until tender. Drain; cool for 30 minutes. Place bison back ribs in a large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.

  2. For marinade, combine chili sauce, orange juice, orange zest, onion, vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour 3 cups over the bison back ribs. Marinate bison back ribs in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Cover remaining marinade; chill until needed. Drain bison back ribs; reserve the drained marinade for brushing on ribs while grilling.

  3. For charcoal grill, arrange preheated coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above pan. Place bison back ribs on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through, brushing once with some of the drained marinade; discard any remaining marinade used for brushing. (For gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Adjust for indirect grilling. Grill as above.)

  4. Place the reserved marinade (not used for marinating or brushing) in a medium saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes; pass with bison back ribs.
