Grilled Baby Back Ribs with Citrus Barbecue Sauce
26 ingredients
Serves 6.

Baby back ribs are leaner and offer less meat by weight than spareribs. Their flavor is not quite as intense, so this preparation compensates with a long marinating time and a tangy sauce with a kick of spice. If you’ve never made your own barbecue sauce, this will be a revelation: citrus juices and honey add a depth and freshness lacking in bottled sauces.
