Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs with Spicy Potato Wedges

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
The secret to perfect ribs isn't an expensive smoker, but time and patience. Tough connective tissues need hours at low heat to transform into gelatin—making the meat fall-off-the-bone tender. A final blast of heat caramelizes the BBQ sauce for that sticky, smoky finish we crave. The potatoes aren't just a side; they're sauce sponges.
