   • Cover with foil and bake for 2.5–3 hours until tender.

5. Add the BBQ Sauce & Caramelize:

   • Remove the foil and brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce.

   • Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

   • Once done, let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

6. Prepare the Coleslaw:
