- Cuisine: Southern BBQ
- Cooking Method: Grilling
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 4 hours
- Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 rack baby back ribs (about 2 pounds)
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup BBQ sauce of your choice
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 225°F (107°C). Keep it low and slow, just like your last conversation with Granny.
- Prepare the rub: Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
- Remove the silver skin from the ribs. It’s like a Jedi, it’s strong, but we don’t need its influence here.
- Generously coat the ribs with the rub. Give ‘em a good massage. Pretend you’re the rib whisperer.
- Place ribs on the grill, bone side down. Let them bask in the smoky glory for 3 hours.
- After 3 hours, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce. Go Picasso on them and glaze evenly.
- Continue grilling for another hour, basting occasionally. Keep an eye out so your artistic masterpiece doesn’t burn!
- Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Cutting them immediately is like interrupting a good siesta. Just wrong.
- Slice and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Give yourself a pat on the back. You’ve nailed it.
Suggestions
- Try using a mix of apple and hickory wood chips for an extra smoky flavor.
- Swap cayenne pepper with smoked paprika for a less fiery kick.
- Garnish with fresh chopped chives or parsley for a touch of green beauty.
- Serve with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or some good ol’ Southern baked beans.
