Saturday, February 9, 2019
Edit
I promise you, my many year of research, preparation, and careful planning has yielded the best barbecue ribs recipe ever in the history of ever.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 racks ribs
- apple juice
- brown sugar
- salt and pepper grinder
- garlic powder
- barbecue seasoning
- 2 bottles favorite barbecue sauce we use Stubb's
- cooking spray
- tin foil
- 13x9 baking pans or baking sheets
Instructions:
- Open the ribs from their packages and rinse gently, patting dry.
- Rip large sheets of tin foil for every rack of ribs you’re preparing and spray them with cooking spray.
- For each sheet of foil, lay one rack of ribs onto it, and begin seasoning each rib rack in layers; first the salt and pepper, then the garlic powder, followed by the barbecue seasoning, pressing the seasonings down before adding the brown sugar.
- Press the brown sugar down, and flip to the other side and repeat seasoning/pressing on the other side of the ribs.
- Let the seasoned ribs rest for about 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 325 (or overnight, wrapped in plastic wrap, if being prepared the day before – for extra flavor)
- Pour approximately ¼-⅓ cup of apple juice underneath the seasoned rib racks, being careful not to spill it on the ribs itself.
- Fold the sides of the foil in first, laying loosely over the rib rack.
- Fold your foil about an inch away from the sides of the ribs on either side, folding straight upwards.
- Match the ends at the top until they are flat and even.
- Fold over until all the way down.
- Lay your wrapped ribs into a baking pan or baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 2-3 hours, untouched.
- Remove from the oven and the foil and preheat your grill.
