INGREDIENTS

1 Full slab Pork baby back ribs
sweet baby rays BBQ sauce ; or your choice of BBQ sauce
2 cup Apple juice
0.5 cup brown sugar
0.25 cup Honey
Chipotle Tabasco sauce ; OPTIONAL
Dry Rub - equal parts:
Brown sugar
Garlic powder
Paprika

INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-Heat oven to 400 F (Cook at 350 F) If you are going to finish off the ribs under the broiler instead of the grill make sure you take the broiling pan out of the oven.

Prep rack of ribs by removing the thin fatty membrane from the underside of the ribs, simply use a knife to lift a corner of the membrane up, and use a paper towel to grip it and pull the membrane up and off the underside of the ribs.

To start lay a double layer of extra wide heavy duty aluminum foil down on your counter (or table) they should be about 1x longer than the rack so you have plenty of foil to fold and seal the ends .

Coat both sides of the rack generously with the BBQ dry rub (equal parts brown sugar, smoked paprika, and garlic salt) and place the rack in the middle of the aluminum foil, fold up the long sides like a tent and fold together a few times to seal the seam leaving the foil slightly tented. Now fold one end a few times to seal, holding the package at a slight angle (open end up), take 1 cup of apple juice (save the other cup for the sauce) and pour it into the open end so that it pours underneath the ribs, then fold end to seal the package up compleatly (Make sure to seal package up nice and tight to prevent any leaks or steam escaping). Place sealed package on a cookie sheet or baking pan to help with moving them in and out of the oven.

NOTE: I Usually prep the rib's the night before to let the ribs soak up the flavor of the dry rub and apple juice, then when its time to cook just throw the "package" into the oven.

NOTE: Multiple Racks of ribs: You can choose to place the ribs into a shallow baking pan with a lid (or sealed with foil) instead of individually sealing each one in its own aluminum foil tent, however I have tried both, and I get far better results sealing each rack individually, in my opinion its worth the extra effort.

Cook in oven at 350 F for 2 hours

After Ribs have been baking for 2 hours take them out and carefully open the package (be carefull the steam and juices will be very hot).

NOTE: Now is a good time to cover your broiler pan with some more heavy duty foil (for easy clean up).

Mix BBQ Sauce, apple juice, Brown sugar, and honey, (If you want a little Kick add some Chipotle Tabasco sauce) and generously cover the ribs with the mixture on both sides. Place rack in the broiler on high for about 7 minutes or until the sauce is just SLIGHTLY charred (WARNING, it is important to watch the ribs closely during this step, if left in direct heat for even 1 minute to long you will burn the ribs and that does not make for tasty ribs).

OPTIONAL; Or if it is more convenient or desireble, this last step can also be done on a out door grill, I love finishing off my ribs on the grill because I usually grill corn on the cob so the grill is going anyways.

Repeat steps for each additional rack of ribs. I have found that 4 full racks fit into a standard oven pretty good.

NOTES

This recipe is fairly easy and when done right, makes some fantastic ribs that you would have to go to a professional BBQ smoke house to find better.

Think the ingredient list is off on the garlic. You want garlic SALT not POWDER correct?

You can definitely use Garlic Salt if you want, I use garlic powder instead since I am trying to keep a low sodium diet.

Ribs were so tender cooked this way! Very easy and delicious!

Love this recipe. Been using it for a few years. I will never cook find another way! ❤️ Sometimes I like to add thin slices of lemon, just a personal taste.

This is my goto rib recipe now. I have 1 time saving variation: instead of the foil tents, I put up to 2 racks in an 8-qt instant pot. Each rack should be coiled inside the pot. Use the manual and high-pressure setting for 30 minutes. Finishing on the grill is the same as your recipe.

GREAT RIBs!!! the only thing I did different is for the sauce I didn't make the suggested one in the recipe. instead I just used more of the "sweet baby rays" and applied a generous amount while finishing the ribs off on the grill

I have made these several times and it's always a hit. I've mixed up the liquid, apple juice, pop, water and right now in the oven, beer. Before I found this recipe, my ribs were either hit or miss, now they're always great.
