Instructions Checklist
  • Uncover ribs. Add beer, vinegar and cilantro to roasting pan. Bake ribs, covered, in a 350°F. oven about 1 hour or until tender. Remove from pan and cool until ready to grill with barbecue sauce.

Instructions Checklist
  • For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around drip pan. Test for medium heat above the drip pan. Place ribs, bone sides down, on grill rack directly over drip pan. Cover and grill for 30 minutes or until heated through and very tender, brushing with some of the Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect grilling. Cover and grill as above.)

Instructions Checklist
  • To serve, cut between bones to separate the ribs into serving-size portions of two or three ribs each. Reheat and pass remaining Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce with the ribs.

Handling hot chile peppers:

Because hot chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water when you are done.

Oven-Only Method:

If desired , cook ribs in oven as above for 1-1/2 hours. Brush ribs with sauce the last 10 minutes of baking. Omit the grilling step.
