EDIT: I just re-read OP and saw you are cooking ribs, so disreard this post or save for later.
I like it simple.
If you plan on grilling this is good:
Whole chicken breast
Take it outside and beat it with the jagged side of a tenderizer hammer until it is evenly thick (this part is somewhat messy) and don't get it too thin.
Grab equal amounts of dry basil, oregano, sage, thyme & rosemary and crush it in your fingers to release the flavor. add a little kosher salt (optional and VERY little unless you are cooking red meat) rub it into the already beaten chicken and store in the fridge for a few hours.
Then grill about 5-8 minutes per side (depends on your grill).
I also use Italian dressing for marinate rather than dry rub sometimes.
