My family loves to grill, and the kids even fight over who’s turn it is. We keep our grill out all through winter because we love the taste of it, and with four boys in the house, we grill a lot of food! A favorite of theirs is ribs. We’ve made Asian ribs, smokey ribs, sweet ribs, honey and garlic ribs, and a lot more. Recently we saw these Memphis in May Ribs and knew they would be a hit too. This recipe is from the new cookbook by CharBroil, and was actually a finalist in a cooking competition. You do have to make a rub and sauce for it, but we think all the layers of the seasonings is what makes a rib so good…enjoy!
