NEXT RECIPE:  GRILLED SHRIMP KABOBS

EASY AND TENDER BABY BACK RIBS 
1 rack of baby back ribs
1 bottle of "Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce"

This is the best way I have found to make baby back ribs that are probably the best tasting ribs I have ever tasted, and the method is so simple that anyone can do it.

First, buy a rack of ribs, and cut it into about 3 chunks, so that it will fit into a pot. Fill the pot with water and bring it to a boil.

Place the ribs sections into the pot and boil it for 45 minutes.

After the ribs boil for 45 minutes, take them out and place them in a large rectangular casserole baking dish and smother them with BBQ sauce (I like "Sweet Baby Ray's" brand, but you can use whatever kind you like best).

Cover them with tinfoil and refrigerate for several hours. Remove from refrigerator and cook them in the oven on 250°F for 3 hours, then remove the tinfoil from the top, and broil them for 5-10 minutes for a crispy top.

If you don't want to broil them, put them on a hot grill for several minutes and grill until top is crispy.

The only thing about this recipe is that it takes planning. I usually boil them on Saturday night, put BBQ sauce on them, cover and refrigerate, then take them out on Sunday morning and put them in the oven.

This way, I have a nice meal for Sunday afternoon.

I have spoken to many chefs (including Asian, Texans, etc.) and each one has said, NEVER, EVER, BOIL any type ribs in water first. Apparently, it takes all the flavor and juices out.

These baby back ribs are even better than going out for ribs. My family loved them. I started Sat. night then put them in the frig overnight with Sweet Baby Rays sauce. AWESOME... and easy....

 Pete says:
That's my favorite method for ribs, the only thing I do differently is replacing about half the boiling water with Newcastle beer!

 AJ replies:
I was definitely skeptical with all the cooking involved... but OH MY GOD. These were the best ribs EVER! I am looking forward to next time, and using the beer in the boiling like Pete said.

Awesome ribs, they were very easy and tender. Better than going out to a restaurant. I'll be making these again and again, that's for sure!

 Judy says:
The meat was extremely tender, but the boiling took away a lot of the flavor of the meat itself.

I put the ribs in the oven, covered with foil, at 350°F for 45 minutes,instead of boiling them. Then followed the recipe. No flavor lost in the boiling water. One pan from start to finish.

UNBELIEVABLE!

I put them on the pit after all of the prep, great idea. My daughter who loves ribs pulled the first one right off of the bone. The flavor was incredible. I boiled them last night (Sat.) and cooked them Sunday. Very impressed as was my wife, who is a hard sell. Thank you.

I make my ribs with this recipe and they are better than any restaurant every time. Sweet Baby Rays sauce is what I use every time too. Boil or not, these taste better and are more tender than any ribs I order at restaurants.

People rave about my ribs... try it!

Great ribs. My family loved it. Fall off the bone and so tender. I will make them like that again. Thanks for the recipe

Try boiling the ribs in Coca-Cola instead of water. Great flavor!!! Just pour in enough to cover the ribs. I boil and then simmer mine for 3-4 hours and then place the ribs on a foil lined cookie sheet, cover them in BBQ sauce, and bake or throw on the grill for about 5 minutes. They are always fall-off-the-bone delicious!

This is a great recipe. My wife always ordered Baby Back Ribs when we went to Chili's but I heard they are a lot of work. This recipe is so easy it is foolproof. I have used it several times. The only thing I changed was I made my own sauce. There are many good ones here!
