In my family, we have a lot of lobster lovers and whenever we have our big summer get-together, there is always one night dedicated to lobsters and corn on the cob.
We also have some who are land lovers and usually serve steak for them, but this year, we had these ribs.
They were amazing and earned rave reviews - especially from my Dad who said there was "no contest" on which dish he'd rather eat! (Awe, blush!)
Ingredients
- baby back ribs
- Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sauce
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- oil for the grill
Don't have the time to make the bbq sauce? No judgment! Use your favorite, just remember that hands down, this one is the most delicious ever and you might want to give it a try!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line your baking sheets with tinfoil. Season the ribs and brush with the barbecue sauce.
- Cover and bake for 1-½ hours.
- Preheat the grill, and brush the grill with oil (to keep the ribs from sticking).
- After that, grill ribs for 5-6 minutes on each side to give them a bit of char and smokiness from the grill.
- Serve immediately with extra barbecue sauce and plenty of napkins, these are finger-licking good!

If you have time you can certainly season and brush the barbecue sauce on the ribs the night before. It will only add to the flavor. If you don't, these will still be mouthwatering and delicious - just look at these ribs!!!
You certainly can, but this recipe calls for baking the ribs. You'll bake them for about 1-½ hours low and slow and after that finish them off on the grill. This is a great way to easily tenderize the ribs without spending all day standing over the grill!
