A delightful twist on classic BBQ ribs, featuring a rich bourbon-infused sauce for a flavor-packed experience.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, molasses, bourbon, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
Place the ribs in a roasting pan and sprinkle them evenly with salt.
Ensure the ribs are dry before seasoning for better flavor absorption.
Roast the ribs in the oven for 45 minutes.
Cover the pan with foil to retain moisture during roasting.
Baste the ribs with a portion of the prepared sauce.
Use a basting brush for even application of the sauce.
Continue roasting the ribs for another 30 minutes.
Turn the ribs halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the ribs moist.
Cut the ribs into individual portions and return them to the roasting pan.
Use a sharp knife to cut cleanly between the bones.
Baste the cut sides of the ribs with the remaining sauce.
Apply sauce generously for maximum flavor.
Roast the ribs for an additional 30 minutes.
Check the ribs for doneness by ensuring they are tender and the sauce is caramelized.
Serve the ribs warm with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.
