Ribs

Buffalo Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rinse the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs if necessary.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together salt and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

  2. 4

    Make Sweet Sauce

    While the ribs are baking, prepare the sweet sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

  3. 5

    Make Buffalo Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the hot sauce, garlic powder, and celery salt. Whisk until combined and heated through.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the sweet sauce generously over the top of the ribs.

  2. 7

    Broil the Ribs

    Return the ribs to the oven (uncovered) and broil on high for 5-7 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and becomes sticky.

  3. 8

    Serve with Buffalo Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with the buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
