Chinese Smoked Ribs

This is our favorite way to have ribs. The sauce is the best I have ever tasted and the ribs are always tender .   You can cook the ribs in the oven or on the barbecue.  In the oven I cook them without any cover, on the barbecue I cover the ribs with foil to prevent burning.  I add the sauce during the last half hour of cooking.

This recipe come from an old edition of Better Homes and Gardens All- Time Favorite Barbecue Recipes.
