If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store the ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for about 3 to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, or reheat them on the grill for a few minutes.
Tips for preparing Party BBQ Ribs
- For even more flavor, marinate the ribs in the barbecue sauce overnight before grilling.
- If you prefer, you can bake the ribs in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 2.5 to 3 hours before finishing them on the grill. This helps to tenderize the meat.
- Always let the ribs rest before cutting to keep them juicy.

- You can also use different BBQ sauces—sweet, smoky, or even spicy—based on your preference.
