Barbecued Spareribs And Sauce
Tender barbecued spareribs coated in a flavorful sauce with a hint of spice, ideal for casual gatherings and outdoor cookouts with family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the barbecue sauce, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco in a separate pan.
- Use regular pork ribs for the dish.
- If using country-style ribs, cook them first to remove excess grease, then add to the sauce and heat through following the same procedure.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the ribs in the barbecue sauce overnight. You can substitute the Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce for a different twist. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding more Tabasco or some cayenne pepper. Using country-style ribs will yield a meatier dish, but ensure you cook them first to render the grease before adding to the sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecued spareribs alongside classic sides like coleslaw or baked beans for a true summer feast. They also pair beautifully with Easy Skillet Macaroni And Beef for a comforting meal. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color, and consider offering extra barbecue sauce on the side for those who like it saucy.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the ribs in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them on medium power, but be careful not to overcook, as this can dry them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sauce for the ribs?
Absolutely! While the recipe calls for Ken Davis barbecue sauce, feel free to use your favorite brand or even homemade barbecue sauce for a personal touch. Just be mindful of the sweetness and spice levels, as they may vary from one sauce to another.
How long should I cook the ribs?
Cooking time can vary based on the type of ribs used. Generally, spare ribs should be cooked for about 2 to 3 hours at a low temperature (around 225°F or 107°C) for tender results. If you're using country-style ribs, they may cook faster, so check for doneness after about 1.5 hours.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Yes! The barbecue sauce can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just reheat it gently on the stove before using it with the ribs. This allows the flavors to meld and develop even more, enhancing the dish's overall taste.
