Buffalo Blue Baby Back Ribs

Submitted by Black Radish

"These ribs step away from the usual sweet bbq'd version, and have a place in the heart of those who love buffalo wings. Serve the ribs with celery sticks & a chunky, creamy blue cheese or roquefort dressing for dipping. GO AHEAD - Dunk each rib into the dressing and follow with a bite of celery! YUM!"

• 1 tablespoon coriander

directions

1. Combine all rub ingredients in a bowl.

4. Remove the ribs form the foil and cut into individual riblets.
5. Combine Franks Hot sauce & melted butter in a large bowl.
6. Toss each riblet with hot sauce/butter mixture.
7. Garnish blue cheese dressing with blue cheese crumbles, and serve ribs with celery sticks.
