Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Place the ribs on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
- Bake for 2 hours. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and use caution opening the foil - there will be very hot liquids in the bottom of the pan and it will be steaming.
- Check the ribs with a fork or set of tongs, they should be tender, and able to be pulled apart. If the ribs are still tough, tightly cover again and return the pan to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a dry baking sheet. (If you don't have a second baking sheet, transfer to a baking dish, drain the liquids from the sheet pan, and return the ribs to the same baking sheet.)
- Coat the mostly-cooked ribs with barbecue sauce and return to the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes, turn the ribs over, and brush with additional barbecue sauce. Bake an additional 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and set the oven temperature to BROIL. Turn the ribs once more, brush generously with additional barbecue sauce. Return to the oven and broil for about 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and let rest 5-10 minutes. Serve with additional barbecue sauce.

SAVORY COUNTRY-STYLE SPARERIBS
This recipe is a result of trying different combinations over the years. It will continue to evolve because, for me, a recipe is just a starting point when I cook. Country-style ribs are not really ribs in the true sense, they are meatier and often are boneless. But the end results are just as delicious! These are good served with a tossed green or Caesar salad and Recipe #113186.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place spare ribs in a large bowl or gallon size zip-lock bag.
- Add olive oil and zesty Italian dressing packets.
- Mix well. Refrigerate and marinade for at least 1 hour. (You can leave it in the marinade over night if you want).
- Microwave on high for 10-15 minutes, or until ribs are brown, but not cooked through. I microwave them in the bag but you can put them in a microwave safe dish if you prefer. (I use a freezer bag which is thicker and holds up to the heat. I open the seal to vent and place it in a bowl or on a plate - just in case - but have never had a problem).
- While ribs are in microwave, combine the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until well dissolved and heated through.
- Remove ribs from bag and place in a deep 9 x 13 pan that has been prepared with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour sauce over ribs, covering evenly.
- Bake for 1 hour, until ribs are cooked through.
- Baste occasionally, if desired.
- NOTE:***These can also be cooked on the grill with delicious results, just baste them frequently and watch them carefully so they do not burn.
COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS
This is barbecue belt cooking all the way. I don't care if you're in Austin, Texas, or Manhattan, New York-if ribs are on the menu, you've got to roll up your shirt sleeves and have a big stack of napkins ready. This dish has New Yorkers doing just that when it makes its weekly appearance at Bar Americain. Racks of meaty ribs are dressed up with a smoky spice rub for extra flavor. The rich barbecue sauce, spiked with the molasseslike flavor of bourbon, will leave even the most refined diners licking their fingers. It wouldn't be proper barbecue without some corn bread to mop up every last delicious bit of flavor from the plate, and I like to serve this dish with a savory tomato one.

Steps:
- Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
- Stir together the ground ancho, paprika, black pepper, dry mustard, salt, coriander, oregano, cumin, and ground chile de árbol in a small bowl.
- Brush both sides of the racks with the oil and rub liberally with the spice mixture. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator 45 minutesbefore smoking to allow them to come to room temperature.
- Stuff several sheets of newspaper in the bottom of a charcoal chimney starter. Fill the chimney to the top with charcoal. Remove the top rack from your grill. Place the chimney on the lower rack. Light the newspaper and let the charcoal burn until the coals are gray on the outside, about 20 minutes.
- Open the bottom vent on the grill. Turn out the hot charcoal onto one side of the bottom rack. Using a metal spatula, spread the charcoal to cover approximately one-third of the rack and then scatter half of the soaked wood chips over the charcoal.
- Return the top rack to the grill. Place an oven thermometer to one side of the rack to allow you to monitor the temperature of the grill, which should stay between 250°F and 300°F at all times. (Check the temperature every 10 minutes.)
- Place the ribs on the rack to the side of the coals, not directly over them, and cover the grill. Pour one-quarter of the bourbon barbecue sauce into a separate container and set aside. Cook, turning the ribs and basting them with the rest of the barbecue sauce every 20 minutes, until the meat is very tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 1/2 hours. After the first 30 minutes of cooking, light additional charcoal as before, placing the chimney starter on a heatproof surface. When the temperature in the grill drops below 250°F, use oven mitts to lift off the top rack with the ribs in place and set on a heatproof surface. Using tongs, add hot charcoal from the chimney starter to the bottom rack and then scatter the remaining wood chips on top. Return the rack of ribs and cover the grill with the lid.
- Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet; brush with the reserved barbecue sauce and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut the meat between the bones to separate the ribs and serve with the tomato corn bread.
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Country-style ribs are cut from the pork shoulder, and they're known for their flavorful and tender meat. When choosing ribs, look for ones that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
- Prepare the ribs properly: Before cooking, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. You can do this by inserting a knife under the membrane and pulling it off. This will help the ribs cook more evenly.
- Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs. There are many different rub recipes available, so you can choose one that suits your taste. Be sure to rub the ribs generously with the rub before cooking.
- Cook the ribs low and slow: Country-style ribs are best cooked low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall off the bone. You can cook the ribs in the oven, on the grill, or in a slow cooker.
- Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with a flavorful liquid will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out. You can use a variety of liquids for basting, such as barbecue sauce, apple juice, or beer.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Country-style ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a casual meal with friends and family, or for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make country-style ribs that will impress your guests. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
