These ribs were delicious! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm a big fan of ribs and these are some of the best I've ever had. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be making these again.

These ribs are the best! I've made them several times and they always turn out great. The sauce is especially good - it's got a great flavor and it's not too spicy.

I made these ribs in the slow cooker and they turned out great! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

These ribs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less chipotle pepper next time.

These ribs are so easy to make and they always turn out great. I love that I can just throw them in the oven and forget about them. The sauce is also really versatile - I've used it on chicken and pork as well.
