I use a recipe that uses a flavoured liquid/stock , totally submerse the ribs in it, bring to boil and then simmer for 15 mins. Turn off heat then cover and leave in the liquid to cool.
Take them out, dry them off, season with sauce/ rub and crisp them up in hot oven on a rack quickly. Meat turn out crispy on outside and juicy and falling off the bone. (Could do on grill or bbq but I'm lazy
)
Even my son who generally dislikes meat will pile into them - works for us!
