Best ever actually. Thanks
I was thinking about using for lamb chops, do you think it will work. I love it with the ribs, just wanted to try it with lamb.
Can I marinade these for 48 hours? Going camping and want to prepare them at home
for sure, enjoy your camping trip.
I’ve been using this recipe for a couple of years now and it’s definitely one of my family’s favourites!

I’ve been looking for a great tasting Greek marinade for years & have never found one….until I tried this recipe! It is delicious & I plan on using it on ribs, chicken, pork tenderloin, on EVERYTHING! I wish I could attach how marvelous my house smells after baking this recipe. I made them in my air fryer & they came out exactly like your photo – which is definitely a first for me! This recipe is going straight into my Top 10 Pinterest Recipes folder! hank you for sharing this!
Thank you so much, you’re comment made my day!
This recipe is a hit 100% of the time. My mother-in-law loves Greek food and a few years back we were trying to come up with a dish for her 65th birthday dinner and i came across this recipe. We had about 35 people over and it was a hit across the board! Still get requests when people visit. We cook ours on the pellet smoker is the only change I’ve made, and the added smokiness is excellent.
thank you Chris, really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my recipe!
Simply delicious!!! These are now my husbands favourite recipe. I’ve tried numerous other recipes for Greek ribs and your recipe is hands down the best! They smell & taste amazing. I love how easy the marinade is to make as well has simple & wholesome ingredients. Definitely keeping this gem.
Thank you so much Laura for taking the time to drop me a comment and rate my recipe.
Hello, i am allergic to bbq sauce and found this recipe. Would this be a good alternative?
Dannielle, I love these ribs better than BBQ sauce ones, so yes good alternative.
Could I make these with beef ribs instead? We don’t eat pork but they look delicious.
Absolutely, tastes great using beef ribs as well.
