7. Barbecued Ribs (The Best)
It’s better to get started a day early to make the best ribs ever. The secret? Coat them in a spiced dry rub before refrigerating them overnight to let the flavours develop. The following day, bake them in the oven, well wrapped in a layer of aluminum foil, until the meat is tender. Finish the cooking on the grill, brushing a homemade barbecue sauce all over. The result is well worth the wait!
