These ribs are a little different then most because all the meat is in between the bones. There's only a few bites per rib, but they are THE BEST. The original recipe uses a mixture of apple cider vinegar and hot sauce to baste the ribs, but that made my house smell very weird. The marinade is super important to tenderizing the meat though so I found a BBQ sauce with a high vinegar content to replace it. You can use whatever you prefer, but I've found Stubb's Sweet Heat to be a fantastic choice!

Bake the Ribs, uncovered, for 1 hour.
Remove the Ribs from the oven and baste the tops with a generous amount of Stubb’s BBQ Sauce (or a sauce of your choosing with a high vinegar content).
Return the Ribs to the oven and bake them for three more hours, uncovered, basting the top with the BBQ Sauce every hour.
After 4 hours of baking, (the ribs can be served or) reduce the oven to 200 degrees, and keep them in the oven for one more hour. Remove the ribs from the oven, cut into six portions and serve.
