"...and how do you know you're cutting in the right place? Well, if you hit a bone, that's not the right place..." I laughed out loud when I heard this. I absolutely love the dry humour that is very tongue in cheek and pokes harmless fun at those who are always wanting to have 'secret tips and hacks'. Chef John is a master not only of cooking but conveying the underlining message of 'use your bloody common sense!' in a gentle and humorous way.

Personally I'm the Ray Liotta of my favorite soda but hey that's why cooking is magical.

I love how Chef John says he's never transfered the juices without spilling it and then proceeds with a casual and flawless execution without spilling a single drop.

Chef John, you are the finest chef on youtube. I first started watching your videos to cook and impress my girlfriend in 2011. She is now my wife and we still cook your meals to this very day. not only did you help me score the love of my life, but your videos help me remain calm through the stressful times. please never stop what you are doing because it is changing lives!!

I wanted to cook Ribs for July 4th, this seals the deal. But I might do it with Cherry Dr. Pepper.

I used a can of Coke to make wings once and they were delicious. When I told my guests they had Coke in them, they called me "crazy lady". These ribs look so-o-o yummy!

I been making root beer and dr peper BBQ for years. This flavor combo is a new twist

I bet this would be great with Cheerwine too for my friends in the Carolinas!

I live in Canada and we sell Quebec Maple Coke, made with maple syrup. I keep suggesting people try it for a marinade or BBQ but they think i'm crazy. Well I might be, but this looks amazing.

I'm sitting here waiting for the dry rub to have a pinch of cayenne that never came

I almost fell back in my chair when I saw Chef John didn't add cayenne pepper to this recipe.

I cook ribs a lot! I tend to use Mexican Coca-Cola as the real sugar does an amazing job of glazing. Occasionally, I'll add a bit of grenadine for a more "cherry coke" background flavor. I've also been known to add a splash of whiskey or rum or whatever alcohol will complement the ribs before closing the foil. It steams through the ribs, resulting in tender, tasty, and succulent ribs!

WARNING: instead of a brush, I used a mop to apply the mop sauce but unfortunately the ribs tasted like Lysol so make sure you rinse the mop very well.

I actually use 50 year old muslin squares in the kitchen that were originally used to line baby diapers before disposables were invented. I THINK they were unused...

I used the preparation and cook times as a guideline for the 4th of July. I cooked my first racks of ribs and everyone told me they were phenomenal! I ruled them with Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ sauce then for a dry rub McCormick Brown sugar bourbon seasoning, then another slather of BBQ sauce. Wrapped in foil as mentioned but cooked for 2 hours at 325°F. Pulled them out and turned the oven up to 350°F then tried to glaze them with more sauce and cooked them twice like that for 15 minutes each. Pulled them out and holy cow! Finger licking good! Tender and not dry at all.

Your voice is amazing for these videos, Chef.

i honestly can't live without extra-wide foil lol

Good spot…I commented on it too before seeing your post…..fond memories (or is it mammaries?)

another benefit of the soda is the higher acidity, which results in easier caramalization at lower temperatures. This combined with the high sugar content is also why it blackens so fast. But because BBQ by it's nature is cooked at low temperatures, this can be avoided.

I’ll have to modify this to put them on my smoker, unsealed, for at least an hour to get smoke flavor, then probably proceed as directed. Looks yummy!

I absolutely love your videos!! I get a giggle from each and every one of them. I'm not a big soda drinker, but this sounds like a fun time in the kitchen. Honestly, this would be a smoker or direct heat grilling method. Anything you can do in an oven can be made by other cooking methods. Still lovin' the video though.

I am absolutely cooking these sunday !!!

Always something neat and cool to find with Chef John!

My chief chef told me to make 150 skewers with chicken - for 75 kids. I marinated it in Cola, brown sugar, paprika and oregano......but the chef told me afterwards, that it were "too spicy" for kids and then he threw it all out (I saved them all without his knowledge) and made me try again......this time I did not use any marinate - just plain pieces of chicken, marshmallows and big gummy bears - which he accepted, but the kids hated them, so I served them those I made the first time 😀🤔😉. Next day we had a new chief chef.......and I (apprentice) got promoted to be the new chef's "idea man".....

I made these yesterday and they were amazing. I thought I had smoked paprika, but I didn't, so I used paprika and added about 1/2 teaspoon of Liquid Smoke to the wet marinade. Worked out great. Thanks!

Wow, they look amazing‼️👍😋

You are so right about the extra wide foil! Worth tbe splurge!

I have used sugar Coca Cola to cook my ribs for years. You need sugar specifically as it breaks down better than HFCS and it’s natural. I then reduce the soda/meat juice to make a bbq sauce. I also use honey in the sauce too as it helps things stick better

Hey John great recipe. Fellow Smittys alumni class of ‘81

That was a nice little techniques chef John. I'm going to try this out with a slab of lamb ribs... The touch of Rosemary.

I watched this vid a few months back and said to myself: "Self" (cause that's what I call myself) "you need to make these and soooon". I'm finally ready to do it and I forgot this video, everyone else's baked rib videos they always throw out the drippings 😑thaaat's when I remembered it was you! I don't understand why everyone else is doing this incorrectly 😆

It looks so delicious!

Just made these, it was excellent. Big hit in the household. Look forward to making again

awesome! I just bought some ribs so I'm gonna try your recipe! what gr8 timing u have Chef John!!

I used parchment instead of foil, in a 300°f grill. They came awesome. Thank you for something different , which a camper like me can follow.

Looks so good!

You're welcome, Chef John, I am glad my Pimpmaster trick came in handy!

“I’m Carol Dodah - The perfect 36” lol I miss channel 36 in the SF Bay

In HS I worked at a little local diner with a different special each night of the week. This is similar to what we made for "Rib Night" (Wednesdays, I believe). However, we used 2:1 Coke and Root Beer. I still recreate it at home now and then, 25 years later.

I made this for my mother’s birthday. She was impressed.

Chef, I’m gonna try that with Mexican Coke(made with cane sugar) Grenadine and Maraschino cherry…. You know, a Roy Rodgers Ideas?

Around Thanksgiving time shops stock extra large thick foil to cook turkeys.

Looks good!

I tried your recipe! It's not the first. Like you I don't drink Cherry Coke but these ribs were very delicious. The dry rub and mustard gave them great flavor and the sweet syrup at the end was a great touch. Very tender. Very tasty. Thanks Chef John!😎

I’m gonna try this with a Sioux City Sarsaparilla. 👍

A couple of shakes (or more) of Cayenne would be a plus in the sauce!

My method is slow cooking the ribs in a crock pot for 5 to 6 hours. I might try to pull some of the juices out of the crock pot about half way through and use it to make the sauce with some Dr. Pepper! I will also try the wet rub with the dry rub as well. I do put my ribs under the broiler for a few minutes. Oh. I remove the membrane. I made ribs with and without the membrane. Not much if any difference, but it is fun to remove the membrane and it gives me the ability to look down on others who do not remove the membrane. 😋

I've made ribs kind of the same way on the smoker. I say kind of loosely because I used cherry jelly and Mexican Coke to avoid the corn syrup as much as possible. It's not possible to decern the coke and cherry flavor as with the cherry coke but still very good. The added smoke from the smoker make them a hit.

I do them in foil in the oven all the time and they aren't nearly as complex as Chef John demonstrates here. I would never do them in a pressure cooker or slow cooker, and never with barbecue sauce on them. Sauce goes on only at the last moment for charring/caramelizing. And some of us, myself included, are not such big fans of smoked anyway.

I'm thinking (as a Texan) that this recipe would also work with our favorite, Dr. Pepper. I am, after all, the Joe Gibbs of my pork ribs.

This is a term I had never heard. Anyway, I get what it is and I have been looking for an easy recipe to make baby backs for a while. Now I hope you will show us how to grill baby back ribs. i wonder if you have the capability to grill on this show?
