Barbecue Spare Ribs – P.F. Chang’s Barbecue Sauce

The Best Spare Ribs

This Barbecue Spare Ribs recipe is fall off the bone tender and absolutely delicious. The best part is, you can use any barbecue sauce you want and still get the same results. So if you’ve already got a favorite recipe you like to whip up or one that is already bottled, you can skip the barbecue sauce preparation altogether. Just a rack of ribs and a cup of sauce is all you’re going to need to bake these ribs to perfection.

How to make Barbecue Spare Ribs Tender

The secret, for Barbecue Spare ribs, lies in the slow and low method. This recipe takes a total of 3 hours from beginning to end but it is worth it. As you can see in my video recipe tutorial, the meat will just melt in your mouth. And as far as P.F. Chang’s recipe is concerned, the truth is, this recipe is better and I say that for two reasons. First, Chang’s doesn’t season their ribs; just a barbecue sauce marinade for 24 hours. Second, they cook their ribs in half the time I’m recommending and at a higher temperature, so the ribs aren’t as tender. That being said, I highly suggest that you use this slow and low method if you want the best results.

Barbecue Spare Ribs Ingredients:

1 rack Spare Ribs
1 cup Barbecue Sauce
1 tbsp Seafood Boil Seasoning (Zatarains, Slap Ya Mama or Old Bay), optional
