For the most flavorful ribs, remove the thin membrane on the bone-side of the ribs before cooking. This allows the sauce to penetrate more deeply.
Browning the ribs in the oven first adds a layer of rich flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, omit it altogether.
If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white vinegar or red wine vinegar can be substituted.
Serve these ribs with your favorite barbecue sides, such as coleslaw, corn on the cob, and potato salad.
