Tangy BBQ Ribs

  4.7 – 61 reviews  • Country-Style Ribs

This was developed in a dorm room since all the cup cake recipes I could find were horrible. You just need one cup, a tablespoon measure, and a spoon, so there are a lot fewer dishes to wash. It’s also really simple to prepare and to recall. Enjoy! It’s quick to prepare—less than five minutes—and easy to clean up. And don’t feel terrible if you eat the whole thing yourself.

This recipe is so good and delicious. Made these for my son’s graduation dinner with family and everyone raved about how good they were. Served with homemade mac and cheese and baked beans, Yum!! Will make them again for sure!

Wow! This recipe is fantastic! My family is still raving about my ribs, I wanted to take the credit but gave in and told them I got it here! Thanks for making me the rib hero in my family!
John Anderson
These were fantastic! My very particular-about-bbq teenage sons raved about them and ask me to make them again and again. Because it’s winter, I followed the advice of another, by-passing the grill and cooking them in 2 cups of water at 250 degrees for 2 hours. I drained them, and cooked for another hour plus at 350. Will absolutely be making these again.

This was outStanding! I have a way that I make ribs I’ve been making for years and this one blows mine away! The sauce is so good! I recommend putting a rub on first. The way I make mine is I put a rub on both sides. You can buy a rub or google a recipe. I don’t grill them. I put them in the oven at 250 degrees for 2 hours wrapped in foil with only the rub on. After 2 hours, drain the fat. Coat both sides with the BBQ sauce as stated. Place ribs meat side up, and bake for 1 more hour, but at 350 degrees. Most important part… Baste the ribs with BBQ sauce every 10 minutes for the last hour.only do the meat side. You don’t have to keep flipping both sides back and forth. Just coat the underneath bone side once, then flip over and do the good side a bunch of times. It may be annoying and take some time, but trust me it’s so well worth it! The bbq sauce coat builds up and becomes really sticky, giving it that great restaurant taste. My boyfriends dad was always ” the rib man” at picnics and functions. After I made this sauce and cooked them the way I do, I became ” the rib woman”! Lol

Simply Amazing!
Pamela Odonnell
This recipe was SO tasty! I didnt bother grilling them. I took the advice of another review and cooked them in 2 cups of water at 250F for 2 hours in a covered roasting pan. Drained them after the 2 hours, added the sauce and cooked them uncovered for an additional 2 hours at 350F. I added a tablespoon of minced garlic to the sauce as we love garlic. Ribs were amazing! Will make over and over again!

I didn’t grill then and they still came out amazing!!!
Edward Torres
Great Recipe. Made this for a special occasion and it went over perfect.
Edward Mitchell
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!! These are the best you wont be disapointed!

Cook these if you have about 3 hours on hand to make them. I made these for my hubby and he agreed with the rest of the reviews – as good as restaurant quality! I went ahead and left the ribs on the BBQ about 10-15 min to cook them through a little more. I followed the rest of the instructions. Because I BBQ’d them a little longer, it allowed me to take a 1/2 hour off the cook time at the end – so I ended up only baking them in the sauce for only 1 hour, in which they were cooked all the way through. WONDERFUL RECIPE! I can’t wait to make it for friends and relatives.
Hannah Murphy
Followed the recipe and even reduced oven cooking time but the ribs ended up chewy and dried out. Will reduce heat / cooktime next time around and likely cover and add water to the pan in the oven for moisture. The BBQ sauce was EXCELLENT – will be making this again soon!
Erin Hammond
I prepared this for a dinner party of 30. I used boneless ribs so the cooking time was cut down by 1/2 an hour–They were a big success and will have to make this again.

with it being mid February, 20 degrees outside and a foot of snow on the ground, I decided not to put these on the grill, but rather put them in my slow cooker. They were amazing! I will for sure make these again and come warmer weather, I will try them as the recipe says. But for now, I placed the ribs in the slow cooker, mixed the other ingredients together and poured the mixture over the ribs. then, in my opinion, everything is better with an little onion, so I sliced an sweet onion very, very thin, separated the rings and placed it in top of the ribs. Then set the slow cooker at 350 and cooked for about 5 1/2 hours. AMAZXING!

I made this over the summer at a barbeque and everyone was licking their fingers asking what the secret was. The molasses and honey really made the barbeque sauce nice and sticky like ribs should be.My aunt’s boyfriend has his own barbeque business during the summer and my aunt was raving more than anyone about my ribs. I finally broke down and told her my secret. Allrecipes(ha-ha)

WAY too much sauce for 8 ribs !!!!!! I glopped it on and still had 1-1/2 C or so left. Consequently, couldn’t taste the meat over the sauce. Baking uncovered 1 hour, even at 300 (as suggested by others) rather than 350, left the ribs dry (I didn’t have time to do the 4 hours at 250, which might have been better). Truly disappointing after all the high ratings – I gave it 2 stars only because it had some interesting possibilities. It’s unlikely I will make this again, but if I do, it will be with major changes to ingredients (e.g., where’s the garlic ?!?!) and technique.

If you aren’t a big fan of BBQ this will win you over! What a dish!
Natalie Martin
Amazing recipe! The sauce was absolutely delicious, though a touch thin. It was even better the second day!!!
Margaret Acosta
These ribs were yummy! This was my first attempt at making ribs and I wanted something easy. I made them in the crockpot because it’s so hot outside I didn’t want to use the oven, and I didn’t know what would happen if I attempted to make them on the grill! LOL If you use the crockpot, be sure to cook on low for at least 7 hours.
