🥗Healthier: pork tenderloin

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Pork tenderloin is leaner, while chicken thighs are more economical.

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

2

Cut the spare ribs in half to fit in the pan.

3

Season the ribs with competition pink shake, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and smoke bomb.

4

Arrange the ribs in a pan and sear them in the oven for about 20-30 minutes to get a good color.

5

After searing, brush the ribs with a thick barbecue sauce, ensuring not to brush off the seasoning.

6

Add a little water to the bottom of the pan to create steam, but do not pour it on top of the ribs.

7

Cover the pan tightly with foil to seal it completely and reduce steam loss.

8

Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 25 minutes to an hour without opening the foil.

9

After cooking, carefully remove the foil and brush more barbecue sauce on the ribs.

10

Increase the oven temperature back to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and cook uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes to achieve a final glaze.

11

Let the ribs rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting to allow juices to redistribute.
