Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 pounds baby back pork ribs (8 racks) or St. Louis-style spareribs (4 racks)
Low-salt chicken broth (optional)
1 1/2 cups store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce plus more

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place each rack of ribs on a double layer of foil; sprinkle rub all over ribs. Wrap racks individually and divide between 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake ribs until very tender but not falling apart, about 2 hours for baby backs and 3 hours for spareribs. Carefully unwrap ribs; pour any juices from foil into a 4-cup heatproof measuring cup; reserve juices. Let ribs cool completely. DO AHEAD: Ribs can be baked up to 3 days ahead (the flavor will be more developed, and the cold ribs will hold together better on the grill as they heat through). Cover and chill juices. Rewrap ribs in foil and chill.
  • Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Add broth or water to rib juices, if needed, to measure 1 1/2 cups. Whisk in barbecue sauce to blend.
  • Grill ribs, basting with barbecue sauce mixture and turning frequently, until lacquered and charred in places and heated through, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut between ribs to separate. Transfer to a platter and serve with additional barbecue sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have good marbling. Avoid ribs that are thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat. You can also score the ribs to help the marinade penetrate.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: There are many different marinade recipes to choose from. Some popular options include a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade made with brown sugar, honey, and spices.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone. You can cook the ribs in the oven, on the grill, or in a smoker.
  • Monitor the ribs as they cook: It is important to monitor the ribs as they cook to make sure that they do not overcook. Ribs are done when they are fall-off-the-bone tender. You can check the ribs by inserting a toothpick or a fork into the meat. If the toothpick or fork slides in easily, the ribs are done.

Conclusion:

Barbecued ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious barbecued ribs at home. Just be sure to choose high-quality ribs, prepare them properly, use a flavorful marinade, and cook them low and slow. With a little practice, you will be able to make ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender and full of flavor.
