BAKED CHILI RIBS
Plan ahead the ribs need to marinate for a minimum 24 hours, also the sauce can be prepared up to 5 days ahead, but must stay in the fridge for a minimum of 24 hours as well as the ribs, so plan this a day in advance. Start this recipe early as the the ribs will take around 3-1/2 hours cooking time in a slow oven, plus they will need to be chilled for 2 hours with the cider vinegar/liquid smoke seasoning before even roasting them. The first time I made these, I baked them in a lower temperature oven for the 3 hours, I have also made these in a 350°F oven for about half of the time, I have to say that the slower roasting time makes for a more tender rib. You can roast them either way you want. Just wait until you taste these ribs!

Tips for Making Baked Chili Ribs:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both good options for this recipe. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while spare ribs are more flavorful and have more meat.
- Make sure the ribs are well-coated in the chili rub: The rub is what gives the ribs their flavor, so make sure to rub it in evenly all over the ribs.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
- Use a good quality chili sauce: The chili sauce is another important ingredient that contributes to the flavor of the ribs. Choose a sauce that you like the taste of and that has a good balance of sweetness, heat, and spice.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and baked beans are all classic sides that go well with chili ribs.
