I almost didn't want to share this recipe because this is one of the dishes that I make that keep my sons coming back home! These can be done with baby back or regular pork ribs. I have also made split chickens this way. The ribs are tender, moist and just slide off of the bone. I know that your family will love them just as much as my family does. I noticed that some are unable to find hickory smoked salt.. You can use smoked paprika or just brush the ribs with liquid smoke before applying the rub. The smoke flavor is nice because it helps give the ribs a cooked on the grill flavor. Also, the easiest way to remove the membrane is to work a spoon or I use the tips of my kitchen sheers into the bottom center of the membrane, work it back and forth to form a "pocket" then I slide my thumbs in and work the membrane off from the center outward to the ends.

These ribs are as advertised - Melt in Your Mouth. I am so pleased with how they turned out and they really require a minimum amount of effort. I used spare ribs but next time will use the baby back ribs. My barbeque sauce of choice was Bulls Eye Original. Thank you, Beth, for sharing this recipe. It is going to be enjoyed by many, many people.

This was outstanding. I recommend letting the ribs sit inside the foil for approx 10-15 minutes after removing from the over and before putting them under the broiler so the juices all soak back into the meat. Delectable!
