How to Make BBQ Ribs You'll find the full, simple recipe below — but here's what you can expect when making these BBQ ribs: Boil the Ribs Bring ribs, spices, and water to a boil and cook until ribs are tender. Coat the Ribs With Barbecue Sauce Place the boiled ribs in a baking dish and cover with your favorite barbecue sauce (either store-bought or homemade). Bake Bake the ribs, covered, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. When To Put Barbecue Sauce on Ribs We like the method this recipe uses, which is to put the barbecue sauce on the ribs after they're boiled — but before they go in the oven. This will allow the ribs to get all the barbecue flavor while the sauce bakes into the ribs. If you want, you can serve these BBQ ribs with an extra side of barbecue sauce for dipping. What Goes With BBQ Ribs? Ribs are quite versatile, so you can serve them with just about any side.

Wrap ribs in a layer of storage wrap, then a layer of foil, and store them in a zip-top freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the oven. You may want to add extra sauce to the ribs to keep them moist. Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "I've never ever made ribs before in my life. They turned out amazing!!! Family loved them!
