Preparation

Step 1

To feed 4 hungry people, start with about 5 pounds of baby back ribs. Actually, you can use the larger St. Louis or country style ribs if you want. Tender baby backs are my thing. The amount of ribs really doesn’t matter – throw in another rack if you’ve got more people.Turn the rib over to the underside — see that layer of white membrane covering the ribs? You’ll want to remove that – it’s tough and stringy.Take a butter knife, wedge it just underneath the membrane to loosen.Pull the membrane up and off the bone.Once you’ve got a section off, use your fingers to remove the rest – just peel it off.Removing this will make your ribs infinitely better.Place all the ribs in a roasting pan, it doesn’t matter if they overlap. Season with salt on both sides.Pepper on both sides.Cover with double-thickness of tin foil. Bake at 275F for 4 hours or so.Use a spatula to move them to a baking sheet.Brush on the sweet chili sauce all over the ribs.Be generous! Brush on a lot.Now move your oven rack to the top 1/3 of the oven and broil for 5 minutes. Keep a good watch on ’em! Don’t let them burn. Alternatively, put on a hot BBQ grill and grill 5 minutes each side. And that’s it! Baby Back Ribs with BBQ sauce.
