Baby Back Ribs
Folks can’t eat these tasty ribs without licking their fingers. The double-cooking method—the ribs are first rubbed with pungent spices and slowly baked, then finished outdoors on a hot grill with a zesty glaze—results in extra flavorful and tender meat that will pull away from the bone with the slightest tug of the teeth.
