Ingredients
- 2 racks of pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Wood chips for smoking (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better tenderness.
- In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Rub this spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-low heat. If using wood chips, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes and then add them to your grill for extra smoky flavor.
- Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cover. Cook them for about 2-3 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature and turning occasionally. If you want a smoky flavor, add more wood chips as needed.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix the barbecue sauce with apple cider vinegar and baste generously over the ribs.
- Once the ribs are tender and have reached an internal temperature of 190°F, remove them from the grill. Let them rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into portions.
- Serve the ribs with additional barbecue sauce on the side and enjoy your delectable creation!
