Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300F (150C). Dive into the magic with a killer dry rub that'll infuse every bite with sweet-spicy perfection.

- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cut ribs into individual bone-sized pieces. Brush generously with sauce, then grill until beautiful marks form, a few minutes per side. Hit 'em with more sauce, pull off the heat, and serve with extra on the side. Get ready for rave reviewsthese ribs are pure grill-side bliss![2][3][4]
