Time 9h50m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (recommended: Lawry's)
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 rack baby back ribs, skinned
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup favorite BBQ sauce, or more to taste
1/8 cup honey, or more to taste

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, seasoning salt, and pepper together. Rub brown sugar mixture on ribs, coating the entire rib, and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (the longer, the better).
  • Prepare a smoker, using charcoal; heat to 225 to 250 degrees F. When the coals have burned to ash, add wood chips, preferably apple wood chips. Place ribs in smoker and cook for 3 hours at 225 to 250 degrees F. Using a spray bottle, spray ribs with apple juice every 45 minutes. After 3 hours, remove ribs from smoker, wrap in aluminum foil, and return to the smoker to cook for 2 more hours.
  • After 2 more hours, open foil and brush your favorite BBQ sauce and honey over the ribs. Leave foil open and then cook for 30 more minutes. Remove ribs from smoker. When cool enough to handle, cut ribs in half. Drizzle a little more honey over top and serve.

  • Stir the remaining tablespoon of vinegar into the sauce and correct the seasoning.
  • Slice the ribs between the bones and toss with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs can be used for this recipe, but baby back ribs are generally more tender and have less fat.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
  • Make the rub: Combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well.
  • Apply the rub to the ribs: Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.
  • Cook the ribs in the slow cooker: Place the ribs in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • Make the sauce: Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili sauce in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Glaze the ribs: Remove the ribs from the slow cooker and brush them with the sauce. Return the ribs to the slow cooker and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the ribs are heated through.
  • Serve the ribs: Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
