Ingredients

4 to 5 pounds pork ribs
Salt and pepper
No-Cook Low Carb Bourbon Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 290 degrees F.

Season the ribs liberally with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a proportionate size deep roasting pan. Add 1 cup barbecue sauce and 2 cups water over the ribs until almost completely submerged; if not add a bit more sauce and water or use a smaller pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, place on center rack of the oven, and bake for about 2 hours or until meat is almost falling off the bone. Remove, drain liquid immediately, and coat cooked ribs with fresh barbecue sauce. It is best to make the ribs a day ahead up to this point. Refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature before grilling.

Preheat a grill to high. Place ribs on grill and grill for just a few minutes on each side. Serve.

Cook's Note: If you have extra sauce, freeze it.

Null, The enzymes that breakdown the fat that makes it melt and taste so good have a problem. Around 180 they are dead. ... You have to keep the meet in a 150 to 170 range for a long time to get the tender...no matter what the marianade is. This method puts it all in the slow cook oven and the smoke on the end. It really is a slow cook oven recipe that fails if you cook it hot. Anything over 290 and you get something more like gristle.Read more

Great Recipe Basis....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Use Crown Royal for your bourbon & add quite a bit more than what's called for {It adds a lot of flavor}. Apple vinegar... tastes better than white. More red onion & garlic are needed too. Also, we add other spices including cayenne pepper & honey to give it a kick. This is by far the best recipe we have ever used. It has become a 4th of July tradition for the past 4yrs now :) I have to make 4 batches 1/2 of which is used in the oven cooking, 1 part for the grill & 1 part left to use on your finished ribs & chicken. Yummy :) Oh, & who cares about calories when you've chosen to eat ribs...ha :) Enjoy!Read more

Chewy meat, unimpressive flavor
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The pre-cooking was either not hot enough or not long enough because the meat was far from falling off the bone. I recommend... 325? instead of 290?. Also, the barbeque sauce wasn't very impressive flavor-wise, and didn't caramelize onto the ribs well. The flavor wasn't bad, just pretty blah. I won't make this recipe again, but instead will look for something that cooks the ribs more fully before grilling, and delivers a sweeter stickier sauce at the end.Read more

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I came across this recipe yesterday and decided to give it a try and wow my family loved it!! I did however, eliminate the... bourbon and I was missing the tomatoe sauce so I substituted it with hunts spaghetti sauce (only thing I had in my pantry)...I was a bit nervous about using spaghetti sauce but in the end it was still a big hit. The rib meat came off the bone easily ...it was tender and tasty!!! The recipe is a keeper for meRead more
