BARBECUE RIBS
This recipe is easier than it sounds. I usually cook the ribs the day before and grill them for a quick dinner the next night. FYI: the sauce is much better after it is cooked. It is not a dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut spareribs into serving size portions, wrap in double thickness of foil, and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap, and drain drippings. (I usually freeze the drippings to use later in soups.) Place ribs in a large roasting pan.
- In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, rum, chile sauce, garlic, mustard, and pepper. Coat ribs with sauce and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat grill for medium heat. Position grate four inches above heat source.
- Brush grill grate with oil. Place ribs on grill, and cook for 30 minutes, basting with marinade.

BARBECUED SPARERIBS
Steps:
- Stir together sugar, spices, and salt and rub all over ribs to coat well, knocking off excess.
- Put chips in foil and crimp tightly closed to form a packet. Poke holes all over packet.
- Stir together all sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved.
- Open vents two-thirds in lid and bottom of grill. Light half a chimney of charcoal, then put on one side of bottom rack, mounding and banking against side. Charcoal will be ready for cooking when it turns grayish white (10 to 15 minutes). Temperature should be about 350°F inside covered grill. Add additional charcoal if necessary. (Temperature will gradually drop during cooking; the goal is to maintain a low, continuous heat, about 250°F.) Put wood-chip packet on coals, then arrange grill rack so that one hinged side is over the coals.
- Oil rack lightly. Arrange ribs on rack so that they do not extend over coals, then cover.
- Cook ribs, covered until tender, about 4 hours. Every 20 minutes, baste ribs with sauce, turn over and switch positions, and add about 8 pieces of charcoal to the mound.

- Sprinkle with fresh herbs just before serving.
- Serve with rice, couscous, or over toast as a SOS meal.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: For barbecue chicken, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. For spareribs, choose St. Louis-style or baby back ribs.
- Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives your barbecue chicken or spareribs their flavor. Use a mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids, such as olive oil, vinegar, or beer.
- Cook the meat slowly and evenly: Low and slow is the key to tender, juicy barbecue. Cook your chicken or spareribs for several hours over indirect heat, either in a smoker, on a grill, or in the oven.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked through: Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F, while spareribs should reach 195°F.
- Let the meat rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious barbecue chicken or spareribs at home. Just remember to choose the right cut of meat, make a flavorful marinade, cook the meat slowly and evenly, and let it rest before serving. With these tips, you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your barbecue skills.
