If necessary, remove thin membrane from ribs and discard. Combine broth, soy sauce, 1/2 cup sugar, vinegar, olive oil and garlic. Place ribs in a shallow baking dish; pour two-thirds of the marinade over ribs. Turn to coat; refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade from ribs. Combine remaining sugar, salt and seasonings; rub over both sides of ribs.
Grill ribs, covered, on an oiled rack over indirect medium heat for 30 minutes on each side.
Baste with reserved marinade, or if desired, barbecue sauce. Move ribs to direct medium heat and cook 20-40 minutes longer or until pork is tender, turning and basting occasionally.
Notes
Marinated Baby Back Ribs
I first marinate each rack of ribs, then adds a zesty rub before grilling them. They turn out moist and flavorful.
