I didn't realize that barbecue sauce on ribs was a thing until I was in my teens. Growing up, my dad grilled these simply seasoned babybacks that were so delicious, they've always made sauce seem superfluous to me. What I love about these ribs is that they allow the pork be the superstar, rather than just the vehicle for a killer barbecue sauce. They cook up in no time, have a great meaty bite, and should you feel inspired to sauce 'em up, they're the perfect canvas.
