- Re-wrap ribs in foil and chill**
- Build a medium-hot fire in charcoal grill, or heat gas grill to high

- Whisk in 1 1/2 c. barbecue sauce, until well-blended
- Grill ribs, basting with sauce mixture and turning frequently, until lacquered and charred in places and heated through, 7-10 min
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut between ribs to separate
- Transfer to platter and serve with remaining barbecue sauce

**Chilled ribs will hold together better on grill as they heat through; ribs can be baked up to three days ahead- the flavor will be more developed
