Ingredients
- 4 lb Pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
Prepare the ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs. Cut the ribs into individual pieces or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
Make the dry rub
In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Apply the dry rub
Generously coat the pork ribs with the prepared dry rub, massaging it into the meat on both sides.
Preheat the grill
Preheat your grill to 250°F (120°C) for indirect cooking.
Grill the ribs
Place the rubbed ribs on the grill grates away from direct heat. Close the grill lid and cook the ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones easily.
Baste with BBQ sauce
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce on both sides, turning them every 10 minutes to ensure even caramelization.
Remove from the grill
Once the ribs are fully cooked and the BBQ sauce has caramelized, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
Serve
Cut the ribs into individual portions, if desired, and serve them hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy with your favorite summer side dishes, such as coleslaw or potato salad.
