Summer is here! Time for easy cooking! If you’re looking for some yummy recipes to add to your dinner menu well look no further than these finger licking 4 ingredient country style ribs! These are by far our favorite way to make them.

Country style ribs are our favorite ribs to eat. You can grab them with your hands or cut them with a fork. You do you! However you eat them, you’re going to be loving them. Not only because they’re so flavorful, but they’re so easy to make.

It should be no surprise I love creating big batch spice blends. I have several on Mother Thyme. Some popular spice blend recipes are –

But let’s be honest, some spice blends are hard to replicate, or frankly why bother when you can easily buy it all ready blended at the store.

One of my favorite for years has been the McCormick Smokehouse Maple. It’s so good! You can find it right with the spices. I love it on so many things, like these ribs. You have to try it on corn on the cob too! Wow, it’s so good!

Anyways, I highly recommend that spice blend. Hopefully you can find it, if not you can get it on Amazon here.

You’ll also need some olive oil, salt and your favorite BBQ or rib sauce. Some of my faves are Chiavetta’s which is local here in Buffalo which I love (their chicken marinade is the best!) I also like Sweet Baby Ray’s or even Jack Daniel’s BBQ sauce.

The key to finger licking ribs is to marinate in a dry rub, then towards the end of them cooking, slowly glaze them with BBQ sauce. You also want to cook them low and slow for finger licking, tender and juicy ribs that will have your craving for more!
