Ingredients
  

For the Ribs

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Celery Seed
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder Note: Use smoked chili powder for additional smokiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Pepper Sauce Optional spicy kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Grill
  • Medium saucepan
  • Roasting pan
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Place the country-style ribs in a shallow roasting pan, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, water, brown sugar, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, chili powder, hot pepper sauce, and pepper over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove ribs from the oven and pour about 1 cup of the barbecue sauce over them, evenly coating. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 177°C). Drain excess sauce from the ribs and place them on the grill.
  5. Grill the ribs uncovered for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with remaining barbecue sauce.
  6. Remove ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with any remaining barbecue sauce on the side.
