- If you don't have time to let the ribs come to room temperature, you can cook them straight from the refrigerator. Just be sure to add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.
- To make sure the ribs are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. It should read 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have barbecue sauce, you can make your own by combining ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and spices.
