Use only baby backs because spareribs don't have as much meat and will cook to death!!

*Put ribs on a rack in a broiler pan{make sure you tin foil the bottom and spray the pan with cooking spray}. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350.

*Drain the grease and put ribs on greased cookie sheet. Baste with Rib Sauce{Below} and cover with tin foil.



*Turn oven down to 325 and coat both sides with Rib Sauce. Cook for 1 hour, turning over at 30 minutes.
