2 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
1 cup tomato paste (about 9 ounces)
1 cup whole grain Dijon mustard
1 cup water
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
1 large dried ancho chili, stemmed, seeded, cut into small pieces

Steps:

Make sauce
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add green onions, white onions and garlic and sauté until tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in all remaining ingredients, adding bourbon last. Simmer sauce until thick and reduced to 7 cups, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Make spice rub and ribs
Mix first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Rub spice mixture over both sides of rib racks. Arrange ribs on large baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Cut rib racks into 4- to 6-rib sections. Arrange ribs on barbecue. Grill until meat is tender, occasionally turning ribs with tongs, about 40 minutes. Using tongs, transfer ribs to work surface.
Cut rib sections between bones into individual ribs. Arrange on clean baking sheet. Transfer 3 cups sauce to small bowl; place remaining sauce in small saucepan and reserve. Brush ribs with sauce from bowl.
Return ribs to barbecue. Place pan of reserved sauce at edge of barbecue to rewarm. Grill ribs until brown and crisp on edges, brushing with more sauce from bowl and turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Serve ribs with warm sauce.

Tips for Grilling Pork Baby Back Ribs:

Choose high-quality pork baby back ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will also make them more tender.
Season the ribs liberally with your favorite rub. Be sure to get the rub into all the nooks and crannies.
Preheat your grill to medium-low heat. You want the ribs to cook slowly and evenly.
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.
Baste the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
