I like that you precook the ribs before grilling so that the sauce does not burn. Sounds like a great combination of flavors with a litte hint of spice. I will have to try it next time I make ribs.
If you don’t feel like cooking the ribs as long, spice and lightly baste with sauce, then wrap them in foli tightly and bake about half the time. Its a quick way to get them tender before grilling.
Thanks for the tasty recipe.
Thank you for the suggestion Brad, I will keep it in mind for next time.
