This recipe is quite simple and the results are incredible. I usually double the rub recipe and store it in a jar for next time. If you've never tried ribs before, try this recipe. This recipe can be made on the grill or in the oven.

Absolutely FABULOUS and so easy to make. I actually cooked them for almost 3 hours and then put on the grill and they were amazing!

    While the method of preparation produces very tender ribs, they were a bit spicy for us. I possibly used too much rub but the pepper was the predominant flavour and ended up being too much for some of my guests. I do highly recommend this method for preparing your ribs. However, I will reduce the pepper & cayenne pepper next go around and increase the garlic. Thanks for sharing and I'll make again with just a couple alterations.

    Wonderful recipe that I plan to use over and over. The ribs were moist,and crispy. I put the rub on the ribs in the morning and let sit in frig all day before cooking. Thanks. Patty T.

    I made Emeril's Essence from scratch for this recipe, and used a brown sugar barbeque sauce as I could find neither of these ingredients available. No matter, the recipe turned out fantastic and I would highly recommend for anyone to try it out!
