Ingredients:
- 2 racks of baby back pork ribs - 1 cup of BBQ sauce - 1/4 cup of brown sugar - 1 tablespoon of garlic powder - 1 tablespoon of onion powder - 1 tablespoon of paprika - 1 tablespoon of chili powder - Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium heat. 2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel. 3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. 4. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the ribs. 5. Place the ribs on the grill, meat side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes. 6. Flip the ribs over and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. 7. Brush the BBQ sauce onto the ribs, making sure to cover them completely. 8. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the ribs are cooked through. 9. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips and Tricks:
- For a smokier flavor, soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes before placing them directly on the grill grates. - If you prefer your ribs falling-off-the-bone tender, wrap them in foil after brushing on the BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 30 minutes. - Don't forget to let the ribs rest! This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures that your ribs are as flavorful as possible.
