The Only National BBQ Ribs Day Recipes You’ll Ever Need

Cartoon of the Statue Of Liberty with BBQ sauce around her mouth and holding a rib.

The fourth of July is the birthday of America, the day our Founding Fathers declared independence from Britain. It’s the day that American freedom was born, and every year, we celebrate that hard-earned freedom with fireworks, concerts, carnivals, family reunions, and not least of all, barbecue. On this day, millions of Americans fire up their grills, gather round, and cook all manner of hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, corn on the cob, and best of all, ribs.

Yes, today is not only Independence Day. It’s National Barbecued Ribs Day! And we’ve got everything you need to celebrate in style. Our award-winning ribs recipe is only the tip of the rib bone: we’ve also got the inside line on how to tell when your ribs are properly cooked, a guide to our favorite rib racks, and step-by-step techniques like how to remove that pesky membrane from your rack of ribs–and an explanation of why you definitely want to remove it.

Happy Ribs Day, America!
