Instructions
1
Begin by cutting the 4 lbs of pork back ribs into manageable serving-sized pieces, ensuring they will cook evenly.

In a large pot, place the ribs and cover them with enough water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cover the pot, allowing the ribs to cook for about 1 hour or until they are nearly tender.
3
While the ribs are simmering, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the crushed garlic and sauté for approximately 4 to 5 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
4
To the garlic, add ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, chopped onions, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, celery seed, salt, and hot pepper sauce. Stir to combine and bring this mixture to a boil, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.

Once the ribs are tender, drain them from the pot and place them in a shallow baking pan.

Pour the boiling BBQ sauce generously over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the ribs for 20 minutes, basting them with the sauce every 5-10 minutes for maximum flavor and stickiness.
