There are two schools of thought for ribs: they should be accompanied by traditional southern sides and eaten as part of a meal, or the ribs ARE the meal. The jury is still out on what I think, but with these ribs, it doesn't matter (because the sauce sticks to everything you own).

Ingredients
2 cups plain BBQ sauce (like Sweet Baby Ray's)
1/2 cup bourbon
1/3 cup Cajun seasoning, divided
1 rack baby back ribs
Preparation
Combine BBQ sauce, bourbon, and 3 tbsp Cajun seasoning in a saucepan. Simmer until slightly thick, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 250°F.
Rub the remaining Cajun seasoning evenly over the top and bottom of the ribs. Bake for 2 hours, until ribs are tender.
Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Brush the bourbon BBQ sauce evenly over the top and the sides. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
Serve with the extra BBQ sauce.
