The only best way to cook pork spareribs is to precook the ribs in the oven and finish them on the grill. But you can also finish the ribs in the oven. Uncover them and continue to cook for 30 minutes (for crisper ribs, take the ribs out of the sauce for the final baking). Most of us prefer pork back ribs, which are meatier and less fatty than side ribs, but side ribs are very flavourful. Both have their devotees.
Use homemade or storebought barbecue sauce for this recipe.
