Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Balance this special occasion entree with smart side dishes. For example, choose a mixed green salad and vegetable.

Substitute

Grill, uncovered, 50 min. to 1 hour or until chicken is done (165°F), turning occasionally and brushing with barbecue sauce mixture the last 15 min. of grilling time. Makes 5 servings.

I made this recipe with chicken breasts and baked it in the oven. The next time I make it, I'll only use 1/2 tsp. pepper flakes, as with chicken, it was too hot! Probably would be fine with ribs.

This was great! The orange juice added a great citrus flavor even though I did not have any orange zest.

AMAZING! I'm not a fan of barbecue sauce, but I had a little taste of it before I started cooking and I was instantly hungry for the ribs! I used 5 lbs of meat instead of 3 lbs since we had a lot of people over. I'm going to leave them on a little longer next time as they were still slightly pink.

I love ribs! When I made this recipe, I didn't have orange juice on hand, so I substitued pineapple juice and it was 'smashing' Great recipe....I would highly recommend everybody who's a rib fan, give it a try.

I really had a craving for these ribs and since it was cold outside, I baked them for 2 1/2 hrs! Very tender and delicious!!!

My husband and I loved this recipe. I boiled the ribs with the ingredients for about 15 minutes then placed them in the oven. It was so juicy and extremely tasty.
