    Absolutely the best

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I love this recipe and have used it several times. My sister and I went to TGIFridays and got their ribs and were... disappointed after having had them with this dry rub. Instead of using fresh orange zest, I used some dried zest I had in my cabinet and it didn't have an overwhelming orange flavor. The first time I made this the outside was a bit crunchy so the next time, I covered the ribs with aluminum foil for an hour, then took it off for the last half hour. This kept everything tender with a slightly crunchy exterior - tasty!Read more

    The orange flavor was too overwhelming

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    The recipe looked delicious on TV but followed it exactly and slow roasted it over a grill and they looked delicious....until... we bit into them. There was no flavor at all except for the orange flavor, which in my opinion, does not mix well with ribs. Even though it wasn't even much zest, that was all we could taste. Next time, I'm going to omit the orange zest and add seasoning salt instead.Read more

    A waste of ribs

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I followed the directions and cooked the ribs in the oven for one hour. They were dry and almost burned. I guess the baby... back ribs from Niman Ranch didn't have enough of pork fat on them.Read more

    Okay

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Followed recipe exactly. Ribs turned out tender inside but had a tough crust. Perhaps I should have taken them out earlier... than 1 1/2 hours? Also, my husband did not like the pronounced orange flavor. Maybe I let the ribs rest too long - about 17 hours.Read more
