When do you put barbecue sauce on ribs?

Answer 1

The biggest mistake most people make is putting it on before starting to cook. It should not be put on the meat before grilling. The sugar in most of them will burn and leave you with black and charred outside and raw inside. Wait until the last 5 minutes to put it on the meat.

Answer 2

Barbecue sauce can be added at any time to ribs. You can soak the ribs in the sauce, like a marinade, in the refrigerator over night, put the sauce on before you cook it or put the sauce on after the meat is mostly cooked.

If you marinade the ribs first, you will want to cook them at a lower temperature until done.

If you add the sauce before cooking the ribs, you will want to cook them at a lower temperature, too.

Most barbecue sauces contain a lot of sugar. You do not want to burn the sugars.

I make my own BBQ sauce I don't use Sugar I use Honey which works wonders on taste. The best way to cook ribs is to do Oven Then Grill them to finish off The best time to put the sauce on is right before you are going to serve then off the grill The sauce needs to marbleize on the ribs for that down home southern taste!
