First time I made these ribs I was quite disappointed, just way too much salt, couldn't eat them! Second attempt I reduced the salt down to 2 teaspoons rather than 3 tablespoons, made all the difference in the world! Also while I was reducing the sauce I ladled the grease from the edge of the saute pan (rather than a sauce pan while the mixture was at a rather rapid boil, the grease collected along the perimeter of the pan and was easily discarded, less fattening! I will never make any other rib recipe! The ribs were very moist and juicy, perhaps the people that complained that they were dry either cooked them at too high of temperature or perhaps used spare ribs instead of Baby Back Ribs, big difference! I'm also blessed to live in the midwest where ribs are a plentiful! Found Dried Jalapeño flakes at my local grocery store.

These rocked! The only thing I did different that I always do when I want a smokey flavor is to rub the ribs with liquid smoke. I didn't find the jalapena seasoning and chose not to mail order it because of the expense of shipping it. However, I don't see how much more flavor these ribs could have needed. Maybe his are spicier than mine, but we still loved them. This is the only rub I use on ribs. Love, love, love. People who say they are too salty probably used table salt. Three tablespoons of kosher salt is equivalent to 1 1/2 tsp table salt. That is not too salty for 2 slabs of ribs. So make sure you use kosher salt or half the amount of table salt.

Very yummy! Easy to make, just time-consuming. I didn't think they were too salty, but used about 3/4 of the rub.

Made these yesterday and it is easy and awesome! However, could not find jalapeno seasoning ANYWHERE....and I live in California (didn't we invent this pepper?....lol. I found dried jalapeno flakes but not the seasoning....today I see it online (a couple different brands but only mail order and by the shipping costs more than the seasoning!. Any ideas on where I might purchase it for the next time I make these? I added a bit more cayenne to compensate and honestly, Alton, it rocks regardless - they looked great right from the fridge before I even put them in the oven, loved them....yummy!

Follow this recipe exactly and you will not be sorry. As others suggested, the salt may be halved, however, keep true to the process and procedure. Awesome!

Alton! You've done it again! My family and I loved these ribs! The best advice I can give anyone trying this recipe for the first time is: #1 watch the video and #2 decrease the salt by half. You won't be disappointed.
