This isn't exactly it, but what I've tried from memory--you take some
ribs, like those country style ones that are already cut up for you,
and you boil them in some water with a little salt, meat tenderizer
and Accent (tm) then you put them in the microwave until they start to
sing, and curl up a little. Then you put your "rub" which is made of
cherry Kool-Aid (the trick is to use the name brand Kool-Aid, no cheap
imitation "knock offs") some seasoning salt and some Liquid Smoke,
then you crisp them up nicely under the broiler (that's the top heater
in your oven), serve with a nice BBQ sauce like Kraft's (again spend
the extra money on the "real thing") and enjoy!!!!

I like to serve them with Van De Kamp's baked beans and sometimes I'll
splurge and buy an extra large container of cole slaw from Kroger's.

PS: If the ribs are too chewy, it means you haven't boiled them long
enough.
