Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 racks baby back pork ribs, membrane removed, cut into 3 to 4 rib pieces
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup apple juice
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock
3 shots (4 1/2 ounces) Southern Comfort
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 onion
Oil, for drizzling
Coarsely ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the light brown sugar, espresso powder, mustard powder, paprika and cayenne.
  • Sprinkle the ribs with salt and pepper, then generously rub with the spice blend. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, add the apple juice and cover with foil. Place in the oven and cook until tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
  • For the BBQ Sauce: Meanwhile, combine the tomato sauce, chicken stock, Southern Comfort, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, garlic, onion, a drizzle of oil and some ground pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook at a low bubble for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard the onion and garlic.
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and pour off the liquid. Place under the broiler and cook until lightly golden brown in color, about 3 minutes. Brush the ribs with 1 to 2 cups of the BBQ Sauce, and broil again, about 3 minutes more.

These ribs were just okay. The glaze was good, but the ribs themselves were a little dry. I wouldn't make these again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ribs turned out tough. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough?

These ribs were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The glaze was very flavorful and the ribs were cooked perfectly. I would make these again, but I would use less sugar in the glaze.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The ribs are always fall-off-the-bone tender and the glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I highly recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of ribs, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. The ribs were very tender and the glaze was delicious. I would definitely make these again.

I made these ribs for a party last weekend and they were a huge success! Everyone raved about them. The glaze was especially popular. I will definitely be making these again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a huge hit with my family! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the glaze was perfectly sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.
