 WICKED GOOD RIBS

2 racks baby back ribs (make sure they have not been enhanced with a salt solution, it will say so on the package label)
1 cup FORK 'N HALO BBQ SAUCE
1/2 cup apple juice
Rub:
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon granulated onion, (not onion salt)
1 teaspoon granulated garlic, (not garlic salt)

  • 1. Prepare the rub and set aside.
  • 2. Wash ribs in cold water and pat dry. Remove the thin white membrane from the bone side of the ribs. To get it started, slide a butter knife under the membrane separating it from the meat and then grab it with a paper towel and pull it right off.
  • 3. Rub the ribs all over with a thin coating of prepared yellow mustard. This will give the rub something to hold onto. Then coat both sides of the racks with the rub.
  • 4. If you’re using a gas grill, set it to cook at the lowest temperature possible. Around 250°- 300° is perfect. Usually lighting one burner will do the trick.
  • 5. If you’re using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect cooking by piling the charcoal on one side of the grill. For a smoky flavor, place a handful of wood chips in a foil pouch. Put a couple of holes in the pouch with a toothpick. Place the pouch directly on the coals or over the burner of the gas grill.
  • 6. When the grill is ready, place the ribs on, meat side up.
  • 7. On the gas grill put the ribs on the side away from the burner. On the charcoal grill, place the ribs on the side opposite the coals.
  • 8. Turn the ribs every 30 minutes for approximately two - three hours depending on your cooker. Or, until the ribs have a nice dark caramelized color and the meat has pulled back from the bones about ¼ inch.
  • 9. Remove the ribs from the grill and double wrap each rack with heavy duty aluminum foil. Add ¼ cup of apple juice to the packet before sealing it up. Place the ribs back on the grill for 30 minutes.
  • 10. Take the ribs out of the foil and place on a cookie sheet. Lightly coat both sides of the ribs with the BBQ sauce.
  • 11. If you’re using a gas grill turn it to high, if you’re using a charcoal grill spread the coals out.
  • 12. Place the ribs back on the grill for about 10 minutes or until the sauce is set.
  • 13. Slice between the bones and serve with more sauce on the side for dipping.
