Jack Atkins’ Famous Double-Secret Western Ribs

A perfectly grilled rack of ribs coated with a rich, glossy, and caramelized barbecue glaze, resting on a black slate serving board. The ribs have a smoky, charred exterior with deep, savory flavor. Garnished with vibrant red cherry tomatoes and fresh thyme sprigs, adding a touch of color and freshness to the hearty dish.

The secret’s out, and you’ll be glad it is. Jack Atkins’ Double-Secret Western Ribs bring together unexpected flavors like Merlot, balsamic vinegar, and Frank’s Hot Sauce, creating a unique, fall-off-the-bone rib experience. The hard boil technique tenderizes the meat for hours, making these ribs incredibly soft and juicy, while a final glaze of Big Bob Gibson BBQ Sauce adds a smoky-sweet finish. If you love slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth ribs, this recipe is a must-try.
