1. To make the Ribs easier to handle, cut each slab
between the middle bones into 2 equal pieces. Rub the salt, black pepper, and red
pepper into both sides of the ribs. Place the ribs in a deep baking dish, cover
them, and refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat the over to 450F degrees. Pour the
vinegar over the ribs and bake 1 1/2 hours. Rotate the ribs two or three times
during baking and spoon some of the pan juices over them.
3. Remove the ribs from the baking dish and place in
a single layer on a baking sheets. (line the baking sheets with aluminum foil for easy
cleanup.) Bake at 450F Degrees for 1 hour. The Ribs should be tender and well
browned. This much can be done up to a day in advance. Cool the ribs, cover
tightly, and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.
4. To finish the ribs, Preheat the oven to 400F
degrees. Cut the slabs between bones into individual ribs. Place the ribs into a
baking dish large enough to hold them comfortably. Spoon enough of the barbecue sauce over them to coat lightly. Cover the pan with
aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve with additional
barbecue sauce on the side
