    How to Make Sticky Ribs with Tangy Coffee Molasses BBQ Sauce

    1. Prepare and Marinate the Ribs

    Prepare the dry rub by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. Apply the rub all over the racks of pork ribs, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil, and refrigerate overnight.

    2. Roast the Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C), place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet, and roast for 2½ to 3 hours.

    3. Apply BBQ Sauce and Grill

    Remove the ribs from the oven, unwrap them, and apply the tangy coffee molasses BBQ sauce. Grill the ribs on high for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred.

    4. Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the ribs to a serving platter, garnish with fresh flat-leaf parsley, and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Cook Low and Slow

    Cook ribs at 225°F to 250°F to achieve tenderness, and consider adding liquid smoke in the oven for a smoky effect.

    Choose the Right Ribs

    Opt for St. Louis-style spare ribs or baby back ribs, which offer a balance of meatiness and tenderness. Look for even marbling throughout.

    Coffee Molasses BBQ Sauce

    Use dark roast coffee in your sauce for bold flavors that complement the molasses, and simmer until it's thick enough to coat a spoon.

    Season Generously

    Use a balanced dry rub including salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a touch of cayenne. Allow it to sit for at least an hour or overnight.

    Balance Your Sauce

    Adjust the sauce's sweetness, acidity, and tanginess with brown sugar or honey, vinegar, and mustard or hot sauce to achieve a well-rounded flavor.
