Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add jalapeno slices, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute.
Add orange juice mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set a wire rack inside the baking sheet.
Sprinkle both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper. Place them meaty side up on the wire rack.
Measure out 1/2 cup of sauce and set aside the rest. Brush the ribs with the 1/2 cup of sauce.
Place in oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Brush ribs with some of the remaining sauce. Place back in oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
Reheat the remaining sauce. Place ribs on a serving platter and pour the remaining sauce over them.
Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
