Orange BBQ Sauce:
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk all for BBQ Sauce ingredients until combined. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
Spare Ribs Preparation:
Preheat oven 325°F. Season ribs and cover completely with foil. Place in a baking pan. Bake the ribs for about 1½-2 hours or until tender.
Heat a grill to medium heat. Place cooked ribs on the grill for 3 minutes on each side. Brush with BBQ Sauce and continue to grill for about 2-3 minutes. Repeat on the other side until nicely caramelized. Serve with additional BBQ Sauce.
