Cut each rack of ribs into 3 rib chunks. This way the edges cook more and get more sauced up.

Sprinkle rub mixture all over both sides of each rib section. Rub the rub into the meat.
Divide the rib chunks into the racks of 2 roasting pans evenly.
Add 2 cups liquid. Beer, water, apple juice, whatever you want. The liquid should not touch the ribs on the rack.
Wrap each pan with foil to seal in the steam.
Bake for 3-4 hours. Until the bones protrude slightly from the meat.
Remove from the pan and drain the liquid.
Place ribs back into roasting pans and cover with plenty of Sticky Sweet sauce.
Do NOT cover and return to the oven.
Bake for an additional 30 minutes-1 hour until the ribs are almost falling off the bones.
Serve with plenty of napkins!

Recipe Note
The best time to sauce your ribs is 30 minutes to an hour before they are done cooking. This allows the ribs to compete cooking and the sauce to get to it's perfect thick and gooey state.
