Prep: 15 min
Inactive: 12 hr
Cook: 1 hr 35 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 slabs baby-back ribs or spare ribs, cut into cocktail size portions
  2. 3 (1-liter) bottles cola (recommended: Coca-Cola)
  3. 2 bottles your favorite barbecue sauce

Instructions

  1. Fill a roasting pan large enough to hold the ribs with 1 1/2 bottles of the cola. Immerse the ribs in the cola and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the ribs and cola from the roasting pan, clean the pan, and fill it up again with the remaining cola.
  3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  4. Once your grill is nice and hot, lay the ribs on the grill and begin cooking. Every time you turn the ribs over on the grill, put them back in the roasting pan filled with cola and then back onto the grill. Repeat this process before each turn in order to build a layer of sugar on the ribs.
  5. After the ribs are almost finished cooking, about 30 to 35 minutes, take the ribs off the grill. Fill a new roasting pan with your favorite barbecue sauce. When the ribs are cool enough to handle, cut the ribs into individual portions, and put them into the roasting pan with the barbecue sauce. Bake the ribs in the oven for 1 hour, or until the meat is falling off the bone.

I’ve served these ribs at multiple party’s and engagements with everybody happy. I just never told them that I got the recipe from here. Good stuff!!

Not worth the time and the cola made the rib meat mushy. Even the best BBQ sauce couldn’t save these ribs.
Chase Fernandez
Thanks Bobby!
My mom made ribs this way when I grew up. It is still my favorite ribs. Baby Rays BBQ sauce is a good sauce choice.
Antonio Davis
This recipe was very easy to follow. It was also an easy dish to make with exceptional results. The sugar in the cola gave the barbecue sauce the ability to bring out the smokey flavor in the ribs.
Julian Flores
Easy to do. but, the cola didn’t add any extra flavor to the ribs, and the end the taste like bbq sauce. very tender.
Debbie Gonzalez
This is the first time we used Coke as a marinade… I have to admit, we were pleasantly surprised! The southern style boneless ribs were delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Mr. Jason Prince
