   • Place them on a baking sheet, meat side up, and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.
4. Prepare the BBQ Sauce:

   • Simmer for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
5. Glaze and Broil:
   • Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them.
   • Brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce over the ribs.
   • Set your oven to broil and cook the ribs for 5-7 minutes, until caramelized and slightly charred.
