BBQ Baby Back Ribs

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat dry. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Rub this mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the ribs in the smoker bone-side down. Smoke for about 4 hours, spritzing with apple cider vinegar every hour to keep them moist.

  3. 3

    BBQ Sauce Glaze

    In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce. Let them caramelize on the ribs.

  4. 4

    Prepare Bourbon Baked Beans

    In a saucepan, combine baked beans and bourbon. Cook over low heat until warmed through and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Make the House Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Toss well to combine. Refrigerate until serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes. Serve with bourbon baked beans and house slaw on the side.
