Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Cut ribs into serving-size sections. Rub ribs with seasoned salt, garlic pepper and ginger. Place ribs in 15x10x1-inch pan, overlapping slightly. Bake uncovered about 1 hour 30 minutes or until tender.
2 Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix barbecue sauce, cola, preserves, mustard and buffalo wing sauce. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors are blended and sauce is slightly thickened.
3 Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cover and grill ribs over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with barbecue sauce mixture to glaze.
4 Heat remaining barbecue sauce mixture to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Serve sauce with ribs.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Precooking the ribs in the oven or microwave shortens the grilling time, helps tenderize the meat and removes some of the fat.

You can use regular cola instead of the cherry cola if you like.

tasty, very tasty. dropped the ginger and added a large dollop of prepared beet horseradish. tried the next time with dark Scottish beer instead of the coke. excellent also. tried the next time with the same beer and added some molasses. even better. kids like the cherry coke flavor better; oldsters like the beer. Betty; full marks on this one

Recently married and having the in-laws over for dinner for the first time. My husband and I contemplated for a while what we wanted to make. We ended up doing these as my husband and father-in-law love ribs. They were delicious, had great flavor and super moist. My husband did the ribs - we didn't have cherry coke but used regular coke plus grenadine. Other than that, followed the recipe exactly. My husband was very excited about the raves his parents gave him. Paired it up with grilled asparagus, caprese salad and garlic bread. Great dinner! Would recommend. Since my husband made them, I’d say the recipe was fairly easy to follow.
