PREPARATION AND CARE
Barbecued Loin Back Ribs

Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the ribs sizzle and pop. Remove the ribs from the oven, place on your favorite platter and top with heated Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce!
OUTDOOR GRILL: Set your grill on "HIGH" or wait until the coals are red hot. After thawing, remove ribs from their package. Place ribs bottom side down and cook the ribs until the meat begins to sizzle and pop, approximately 4 minutes. Turn the ribs over- topside down - and continue cooking until the ribs sizzle and pop approximately 3 minutes. Remove the ribs from the grill, place on your favorite platter and top with heated Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce!
Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce
STOVE TOP: Pour sauce into a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat. Once the sauce begins to bubble, adjust the burner heat level to low. Remember to stir the sauce while it heats to prevent it from burning.
MICROWAVE: Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce may also be heated in the microwave. Pour sauce into a microwave-safe dish. Cover with plastic wrap and heat for 1 minute or until sauce is piping hot.
Pulled Pork and Smoked Chicken BBQ
STOVE TOP: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. Remove thawed bbq from the container and place in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for approximately 5 minutes. Once fully heated (internal temperature should be 160 degrees F), remove the bbq from the heat, cover the saucepan, and let sit for 5-7 minutes before serving; this will ensure the heat is evenly distributed. Place the buns on a baking sheet, and warm in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes. Carefully remove the buns from the oven and transfer to a platter. Place the heated bbq on the bottom bun. Drizzle warmed BBQ sauce over the bbq, top off the bun and ENJOY!

Drizzle warmed BBQ sauce over the bbq, top off the bun and ENJOY!
