Oven-Baked Barbecue-Style Baby Back Ribs image

When it's too cold to grill outside, these ribs can be prepared indoors. They are succulent and tender, with a rich, savory sauce of brown sugar, molasses and bourbon. Serve with oven-baked beans and hot baking powder biscuits.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
