"This is a phenomenal rib recipe--hands down! You can adjust the seasonings to taste if desired, this recipe is indestructible! Start this recipe a day in advance, the sauce must be made 1-7 days ahead and the ribs need to marinate 24 hours. If you are using two baking sheets on two oven racks you might want to change the positions of the baking sheets halfway through cooking time. Just wait until you try these ribs!"

They are wonderful. I used pork ribs instead of baby back. I wrapped mine in foil and cooked them at 200 degrees for about 4 hours and then did the sauce. They fell off the bone. Delicious. Gloria
