Ribs are very tough and require long and slow cooking. Most are cooked in ovens at temps that are too high in order to cook faster. If you boil first (not recommended) the cooking process is cut in half and the ribs will be tender rather than chewy.

First off I am a certified chef and boiling ribs is not necessarily not recommended it will make you ribs more tender. A great way to cook ribs is once you buy them if you plan on cooking them that night is to put dry season or rub on the ribs and cook them for 4 hours in the oven at 350 and then put them on the grill for 30 min- 1 hour this is when you put the BBQ sauce on them. Another way to make ribs is if you have a smoker and cook them for at least 5 hours and sprinkle with dry seasoning and let them cook with no sauce for 3 hours the last 2 place the sauce on them. The recipe for dry season is as follows 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper, 1 tbsp dark brown sugar, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp celery salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. For the sauce 2 cups distilled vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp salt, 2 cups hickory chips or chunks soaked in cold water
