Helpful tips before starting

I’ve created sauces like for my chicken wings. But, for this keeping it simple is best. So, any store bought barbecue sauce will get the job done.
I like to use my own seasoning but there are some great rubs options. Killer Hogs seasoning needs a little help so light salt and pepper go a long way with the flavor but I like it. If you choose to use a rub you’ve never used before and are not sure how salty it is I would skip the salt and add in later if you need it.

What temperature do you cook pork riblets to?

This will vary but a good rule is 190-200F for pork. That goes for pulled pork and any ribs you cook. That’s the temperature where the meats becomes tender but not mushy.

Amazing recipes using pork riblets

What’s the difference between pork ribs and riblets?

The pork ribs and the riblets all come from the rib cage of the pig*. If you were to ever go to a butcher you could see how they separate the spare ribs and the baby back ribs. The riblets come from the spare rib portion when you cut them down to St.Louis style which removes the rib tips and riblets.

Ingredients

2-3 pounds rib tips (or pork riblets)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
Barbecue sauce to liking

Seasoning Mix

1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 275℉.
Remove the riblets from the pack and season with the seasoning mix. Cover them heavy because some seasoning will fall off in the liquid.
Place the riblets in a 16×9 baking dish with chicken broth and liquid smoke in the bottom. Make sure all the ribs are touching the bottom of the dish. The liquid does not need to fill the entire bottom of the dish.
Bake for one and a half hour covered. Remove the ribs and place on a line baking sheet.
Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce well on both sides. Carefully because they will be hot.
Then, place them back in the oven for 20-30 minutes allowing the barbecue sauce to get sticky and glaze. Allow the ribs to cool a bit before serving.
