Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to 275°F (135°C) for indirect cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.
Rub the racks of ribs with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the spice rub on both sides.
Let the ribs sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place the ribs on the grill over indirect heat, meaty side up. Close the lid and cook for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, maintaining a steady grill temperature.
After cooking, increase the grill temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the top of the ribs generously with BBQ sauce.
Grill the ribs for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce and turning occasionally until the ribs are tender and the sauce is caramelized.
Mix the remaining BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar to create a dipping sauce.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before cutting them into individual ribs.
Serve hot with the vinegar BBQ sauce on the side.
