To prepare, simply remove the ribs from their packaging. They can be heated in an oven, microwave, or on a grill. For oven heating, place them on a baking sheet and warm until thoroughly heated through. Microwaving offers the fastest option. Grilling adds a smoky char and can enhance the sauce's caramelization. Ensure the ribs are hot before serving to enjoy their best texture and flavor.
