Recipe View Rest & Serve: Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy the tender, flavorful perfection!

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the spice rub.
If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of honey to the sauce during the simmering process.
The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the ribs. Check for tenderness by inserting a fork between the bones; the meat should be very soft.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled corn on the cob.
