Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your grill to medium heat. Rub the pork ribs with a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, basting with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes, until tender and caramelized.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the ribs are grilling, brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the grill during the last 15-20 minutes of the ribs cooking time. Grill until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the chicken and ribs from the grill. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing the ribs. Serve with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
