Mouthwatering BBQ Ribs

Up Your Grill Game

Despite my training in all the complex technique of haute cuisine, I’ve come to realize that in most cooking circumstances, less is more. That’s especially true of this simple rib recipe that’s a sure-fire way to make juicy, tender and mouthwateringly delicious BBQ ribs.

Nicholas’ BBQ Ribs Tips

  • Bring to a boil equal parts BBQ sauce (your own or your favorite brand) and water.
  • Place ribs in a roasting pan and cover with the BBQ sauce mixture. Cover with foil and cook in an oven at 225 degrees for 3 ½ hours.
  • Remove and let cool in liquid overnight in the fridge.
  • Next day, remove ribs from liquid and grill on high heat while basting with new BBQ sauce until hot.

Make these ribs once or twice and you’ll soon be a legit rib-master, capable of bragging among the best of BBQ aficionados.

So the next time a Dallas Cowboy fan tells you about 2-day Texas-dry rubs, then another in a smoker, first, ask them how if they remember what it feels like to win a Super Bowl and second, why are their ribs so darn dried out? The only result of 2-day dry rubs and extended smoking is dry, salty ribs. No thanks.
