Oven Baked BBQ Ribs

Shawn says…

Raise your hand if you crushed half racks of BBQ pork ribs on the reg when you were 12 years old. I’m raising my hand. I’ve always loved ribs slathered in BBQ sauce. There is nothing like tender juicy meat and sticky sauce. Yes, it gets all over your hands and face but it’s worth every bite.

Thanks, Shawn from Kitchen Swagger.
