Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    Place the pork ribs and chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 175-200°C or 350-400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Ribs

    Remove the pork ribs from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down. Grill for about 1.5 to 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes, until tender and the meat pulls away from the bone.

  3. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

Cooking Sides

  1. 6

    Prepare Corn on the Cob

    While the meat is grilling, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn on the cob and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until tender. Drain and serve warm.

  2. 7

    Serve Coleslaw

    Serve the coleslaw in a large bowl alongside the grilled meat and corn.
