Notes

Taste amazing slathered on a rack of ribs, over chicken, even pizza. My favorite ribs: first use a Smokey Spice Rub (recipe at www.littlefiggy.com/smokey-spice-rub/), and smear it all over the meat leaving to marinate preferably overnight or at least 3 - 4 hours.In a 325°F preheated oven, place the ribs bone side down on a foil lined baking sheet. Cover with foil and leave to cook for about 2 hours. Fire up the grill, remove ribs from oven and place on medium hot grill, cooking about 8 - 10 minutes on each side. Brush with Key Lime BBQ Sauce and allow the heat to glaze the meat. Meat is ready when it starts to pull away from the bone.
