- Cooking Method: Grilling
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Cuisine: American BBQ
Ingredients
- 2 lbs bone-in pork ribs
- 1 cup hickory wood chips, soaked in water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 2 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 350°F).
- While the grill heats up, mix brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork ribs.
- Drain hickory wood chips and place them in a smoker box or foil packet with holes poked in it.
- Place the smoker box or foil packet directly on the coals if using a charcoal grill, or on the grate over one burner if using gas.
- Reduce the grill heat to low-medium (around 250°F). Place ribs on the grill, bone side down, away from direct heat.
- Close the lid and smoke the ribs for 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.
- Brush BBQ sauce over ribs during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Remove ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Use beef ribs or chicken thighs instead of pork ribs.
- Garnishing Options: Serve with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or some toasted sesame seeds for added flair.
- Cooking Tips: Keep a spray bottle of water handy to manage any flare-ups from the grill. And remember, patience is key—low and slow wins the race!
