Pork Ribs with Jack Daniel's Barbecue Sauce

This one's my own recipe with a little help from a close friend and Jack Daniel's sauce of course.

Ingredients
1 kilo pork ribs (uncut)
4-5 tablespoons Jack Daniel's Hot Chilli Barbecue Sauce (there is a recipe for this sauce on the internet)
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup of orange juice
25ml whisky (I used single malt, but any whisky will do)
lug of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs (I used Knorr mixed herbs cubes, you can use a mix of dried parsley, thyme and oregano)
salt and pepper to season

Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Rub salt and pepper over the pork ribs and let it sit for a while. In the meantime, mix the barbecue sauce, garlic, orange juice, whisky, olive oil and herbs in a bowl. Smear this sauce well over the pork ribs. Place the pork ribs in the baking tray and cover with foil and bake for approximately 3 hours. You will have to remove from the oven every 45 minutes or so, to turn the piece of meat over and drizzle the juices over as it cooks.

When the meat is cooked, remove and slice the ribs and pour over a little of the sauce that remains in the baking dish.Serve with mashed potatoes or wedges and salad with dressing.
