FAQs
Can I use other types of ribs for this recipe?
Yes, pork ribs can be used as a substitute, but cooking times may vary slightly due to differences in meat texture.
Is it necessary to cover the ribs while baking?
Covering the ribs during the first part of baking helps keep them moist and tender by trapping steam. Removing the cover at the end allows the glaze to thicken and caramelize.
