FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS

one rack of pork baby back ribs

juice of one lemon

1/4 cup dry rub (your own or my recipe)

1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your own or my recipe)

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours

Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs – lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove.

Cut ribs apart into individual pieces.

Rub ribs all over with lemon juice.

Coat ribs with dry rub. Place meat side down in large baking pan, & cover tightly with foil, shiny side out.

Bake in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.

Remove from oven & pour off liquid.

Brush bbq sauce over all sides of ribs.

Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes.

Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set oven to broil and return ribs to the same oven rack, uncovered, basting and broiling about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn. They will be so tender, it’s best to turn them using gloved hands.
