These were fantastic! I made them in the oven and they came out delicious. I highly recommend every one try them!

This was by far the best recipe for ribs I have ever made. The only thing I did different was to cook it in a cooking bag, instead of the tin foil and broiled it in the oven. I will difinitely be making these again, soon.

Great recipe. The ribs turn out moist and tender, with a good flavor.

Great Flavor! The bourbon gives it a little kick. I did change the cooking method because I was afraid of the sugar, juice, bourbon, and BBQ sauce burning on the grill. I cooked the ribs on the top rack of the grill in the foil packets for approx. 35 min, then grilled for a few minutes directly on the burners, I placed the ribs in a baking dish and baked with the sauce. VERY TENDER! I also used boneless country style ribs.

This recipe comes out so well. I added a tablespoon of tabassco and one more tablespoon of bourbon and they came out so flavorful.
