155 minutes

Grilled ribs with barbecue sauce are the essence of American cuisine, a symbol of summer barbecues and warm gatherings with friends. This recipe originates from the southern states of the USA, where smoked meat and rich sauces have become a true art form. It perfectly combines sweet and spicy notes, creating a rich, layered flavor. Slow cooking on the grill at low temperatures makes the meat tender, while regular basting with aromatic sauce adds a caramelized crust. The ribs are served hot and easily separate from each other, making them an ideal treat for picnics and festive gatherings. The best accompaniments are fresh vegetables, grilled corn or classic potato salad. This dish is not just food but a true gastronomic experience that brings people together at one table.
