Buffalo Pork Ribs

Prep: 10 min | Cook: 1 hr 15 min | Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 racks pork back ribs, (about 3 pounds each), membrane removed
• 3 cups buffalo sauce, (such as Franks Red Hot Sauce, original flavor)
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Blue cheese dressing, for garnish
• Celery and carrot sticks, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine the hot sauce and butter. Bring to a boil while whisking until it’s smooth, then set the buffalo sauce aside.
3. Arrange 2 layers of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap around each rack of ribs, on your work surface. Place a rack in the center of each foil setup and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Coat the meat side of the ribs, which should be facing up, with 1/2 cup of the buffalo sauce. Wrap the ribs tightly with the foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake until tender, about 1 hour.
4. Remove ribs from oven, place the oven rack in the middle of the oven; turn the oven to broil.
5. Remove the ribs from the foil and lay them, meat side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Coat each rib with 1/4 cup of the buffalo sauce and broil until the sauce starts to brown, 4 minutes. Continue to broil and baste the ribs until you have used another 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce per rack.
6. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes, then cut into individual ribs.
7. In a large bowl, toss the ribs with the half of the remaining buffalo sauce.
8. Arrange the ribs on a serving platter and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery and carrot sticks.
