Delicious ribs! Like the others, I used the rub and sweet baby ray's BBQ sauce to glaze the ribs. I made margarita mix using the epicurious recipe, unfortunately realizing afterwards that the mix recipe had too much sugar. Even so, these were the best ribs we've ever made at home - be sure to use the best spices you can afford. The ribs needed almost 3hrs at 250 to be falling off the bone. Without the glaze these are the third best dry rub ribs - first place belonging to the rendezvous, second place going to corky's, both in Memphis.

I have used this recipe several times and have tweaked it so it works for us, so hope this helps the skeptics out there.

The first time we made them, we followed the recipe exactly. The ribs were tender and moist but we did not care for the sauce at all! It was not what we consider to be a good "barbeque" taste.

So the next time we made them, we only used the rub (which is DIVINE! and followed the instructions for everything except the sauce. Instead, we used Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce, which is one we personally like. The proof was in the rave reviews that we received. Every bite was gone and we were asked for the recipe by several friends!

I have made these several times, however I have added a couple twists. First, from the refrigerator, I finish them in a smoker (apple or hickory wood instead of the grill. Also, I reduce the sauce by about half to give it a thicker consistency and a more concentrated taste. I have people regularly asking when I will make them again. The sauce is a little sweet, but the cayenne (and a little extra of that gives it at nice kick. I give it high reviews!

No clue why this recipe has so many great reviews, the sauce comes out way too sweet. This was even from using a low sugar orange juice.... :(

Not "elbow lickin good," as Paula would say. I expected the rub and the citrus juices to impart a nice flavor but the ribs seemed quite bland. In the amount of time it took to prepare these I could have smoked them and it would have made a world of difference.

These are the best ribs ever! They are really easy but do require a bit of planning as you need to start them the night before. The sauce and rub is to die for!! Once you make them it will most definatelty be your go-to recipe! It was nice because all of the ingredients were on-hand (except the margarita mix. I looked up a homemade mix on-line which was super easy: just sugar water and lemon/lime. Thanks Alton!!!

While it was "a process" spanning several days, this dish was well worth the time put into it. Best BBQ sauce recipe I've ever made. Thanks to Alton!

Unbelievable taste, textures and flavors. We made these ribs numerous times and the only thing that I do different is I double the sauce because it is sooooo good. One of the best recipes out there. Love you Alton.

This was soooo delicious....the rub was so good that I started using it on london broils. If I told my family I was making ribs they were screaming,"The ones with that rub? Please????" If I made these ribs every night in the summer, my family's bellies would have been satisfied.
