February 3, 2018 at 2:31 pmIf I wanted to cook them as a whole rack and not
Cut them individually, would the cutting time be different?
Laureen King says
February 4, 2018 at 5:01 amHi Beth, yes cooking time would most likely be increased.
Michelle says
February 10, 2018 at 8:31 pmCan they marinate longer than stated? I was going to cook them tomorrow so I prepared them tonight but now plans have changed and I can’t cook them until the next day. Will that be a problem?
Laureen King says
February 15, 2018 at 10:39 amI Michelle, sorry for not responding sooner, the message just came through, weird. So this is probably too late of a reply, but yes you can marinate them longer. I usually do overnight.
Shelley says
February 18, 2018 at 7:39 amHi Laureen
I purchased back ribs and once I got home realized they were not baby backs but from a larger animal…
Any ideas how the cooking time should be extended or if it does?
They have been marinating all night, can’t wait to start cooking them!
Laureen King says
February 18, 2018 at 7:56 amHi Shelley, I’m guessing the cooking time will have to be extended a bit. Best bet is to cut into one close to the bone and check for doneness after an hour. I use the marinate recipe on chicken as well and its great!
Shelley says
February 18, 2018 at 8:35 amThanks, good advice 🙂

Christine says
December 30, 2018 at 1:00 pmI marinated these ribs overnight. I had high expectations after reading the reviews. Very bland and flavorless. Also it needed 2 hours not 1. Will not make again. Just tastes like plain old pork to me. Disappointed.
Laureen King says
January 1, 2019 at 5:42 amHi Christine, sorry the recipe didn’t meet your expectations. Sometimes the freshness of the herbs can affect flavour. I’ve have always got rave reviews for this recipe.
