    These ribs get a triple layer of flavor. First, there’s a spicy rub full of paprika and cayenne pepper; then there’s some homemade BBQ sauce with optional Sriracha; finally, there’s a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top.

    And while the BBQ sauce is going on, they also get a turn on the grill to add that smoky char to the outside. It’s definitely a treat worth getting your fingers dirty for

    Spicy Barbecue Ribs With Fresh Herbs

    The cook time is long on paper, but most of that is just roasting in the oven while you do other things; you don’t actually have to pay attention to the recipe for two and a half hours. Time on the grill is just a few minutes.

    To make an easy dinner out of this, you could throw some asparagus or sweet potato onto the grill at the same time as the ribs. Really any vegetable would work here, maybe with some grilled pineapple rounds for dessert.
