Orange BBQ Baby Back Ribs

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 2-1/4 hours Grill: 15 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
I do not care for long complicated recipes in summertime, I'd rather be out by the pool with my family. Thats when I came up with this easy, citrus twist on BBQ. The orange adds a subtle, but deliciously fresh flavor to any BBQ. I like to use the Orange BBQ sauce when I make chicken fondu as well, its perfect.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds pork baby back ribs
  • 1 bottle (18 ounces) honey barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest

Directions

  • 1. Place ribs bone side down on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until tender; drain.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, orange juice and zest; set aside 1 cup for serving. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
  • 3. Place ribs over direct heat; baste with some of the sauce. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until browned, turning and basting occasionally. Serve with reserved sauce.
