Baby Back Ribs

2-3 people.

• Immediate Use: If you plan to use the baby back ribs within a day or two, store them in the refrigerator. Keep them in their original packaging or transfer them to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag to prevent any juices from leaking.
• Longer Storage: If you won't be using the ribs within a few days, it's best to freeze them. Wrap the ribs tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and then place them in a heavy-duty freezer bag or vacuum-sealed bag to prevent freezer burn.

• Seasoning: Create a flavorful rub using a blend of herbs, spices, and seasonings. Common choices include brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the ribs, pressing gently to help it adhere.
• Marinating: For extra flavor, consider marinating the ribs for a few hours or overnight. Use a marinade that includes elements like soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, citrus juices, honey, or your favorite herbs and spices.
• Resting: After cooking, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting them. This helps retain their juices and ensures that they remain tender.
• Serving: Present the ribs on a platter with garnishes such as chopped herbs, lemon wedges, or sliced onions. Serve them with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, mac and cheese, or grilled vegetables.
