Great flavour, great recipe. Sadly, I overcooked the ribs and some of them looked a bit charred. Surprisingly even the well-done ribs were moist, tender and flavourful and did not taste burned. I will watch them a bit more closely next time and pull them out earlier. I love the lemon juice flavour. I did only get to have them in the marinade for about 5 hours and they were, indeed, very tender. This will be my go-to Greek Rib recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Great I slow cooked them at 250 for 3 hours and they just fell off the bone.

This was a very good recipe, and might add easy as well. One of the better greek rib recipes I have tried in a long time!

Karen, these were so good! Perfect for those few of us who don't like BBQ sauce but enjoy rib meat. Tender and juicy. I cut the oregano in half because I'm not a big fan of oregano, and I also cut the honey in half (trying to watch the carbs), and used olive oil instead of veggie as it is more "authentic"! I let them marinate for about 22 hours. Even with these changes it was wonderful and I will definitely make them again!
