Ingredients

2½ pounds country style pork ribs
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon liquid smoke
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1½ cups Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce

Instructions

Add ribs to a large pot and cover with water. Season with Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring water to a boil and boil for about 50 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Once done boiling, place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush with one cup of barbecue sauce. Cover with foil, making sure to tent foil so the barbeque sauce doesn't stick to the foil.
Bake for 1½-2 hours or until internal temperature of ribs reached 160°F. Brush with remaining barbecue sauce and broil for the last few minutes.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

A great pork shoulder should have a lot of fat marbling throughout the meat, keeping it moist and tender when cooked.
Covering in BBQ sauce will help lock in moisture, and keep them from drying out. Producing tender fall-apart ribs takes time. Boling them first helps make them softer and juicier. Brush on extra sauce before broiling for a glossy finish.
If pork ribs have the fat cap attached, easily trim it off before cooking. The fat cap is the thick layer of fat attached to one side of the meat.
Do not skip boiling, it ensures tenderness. Tent the foil so the sauce does not stick while baking. Broil only a few minutes to prevent burning.
Adjust the taste of these ribs by changing the flavor of BBQ sauce.
Let ribs rest briefly before serving.
These ribs go great with anything, but we love pairing them with Easy Coleslaw, Potato Wedges, Wedge Salad, Crescent Roll, or Homemade Potato Salad.

Make ahead of time. Make this recipe up to 24 hours in advance. Keep them covered in the fridge, and reheat before serving.

Store. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to 3-4 days.

Freeze. Place in quart-sized bags and store together, in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw before reheating.

To reheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place ribs in an oven-safe dish and cover with foil. Heat until warm. If you're on the go, heat them in the microwave. Cover and heat on 50% power, until warm.
