📝 Instructions

10 steps
1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 300-325°F). Set up one side of the grill for indirect heat.

2

Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels and remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs for more tender meat.

3

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, chili powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

4

Rub the spice mixture generously all over the ribs, ensuring it coats both sides evenly.

5

Drizzle the ribs with olive oil and rub it in to help the spices stick and form a crust while grilling.

6

Place the ribs on the indirect heat side of the grill, bone-side down. Close the lid and cook for 90 minutes, checking every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

7

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the hot and spicy glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir until well mixed and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Set aside.

8

After 90 minutes, begin basting the ribs with the prepared glaze every 10 minutes for the remaining 30 minutes of cooking. Turn the ribs occasionally to prevent burning and ensure they are well-coated with the glaze.

9

Once the ribs have cooked for 2 hours and the meat is tender and slightly pulling away from the bone, remove them from the grill.

10

Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides and extra glaze for dipping.
