Before we dive into the recipe, it's essential to choose the right ribs. Look for ribs with a good amount of meat on them and avoid those that are too fatty or too thin. You can also ask your butcher for recommendations.Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:- 2 racks of pork loin back ribs
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of paprika
- 1/4 cup of garlic powder
- 1/4 cup of onion powder
- 1/4 cup of chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
- BBQ sauce of your choice
Preparation
1. Preheat your grill to 250°F. 2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the seasoning penetrate the meat. 3. Combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. 4. Rub the seasoning mixture onto the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly. 5. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and place them on the grill. Cook for 3 hours. 6. After 3 hours, remove the ribs from the foil and brush them with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. 7. Place the ribs back on the grill and cook for an additional hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F. 8. Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce during the last 15 minutes of cooking. 9. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.Tips and Tricks
