Time 3h

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 racks baby back ribs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
1 cup bourbon whiskey
1 tablespoon each salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar
1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder
Barbecue sauce, of choice
2 cups wood chips, preferably whiskey barrel chips or hickory chips, soaked in 2 cups beer for 1 hour, then drained

Steps:

  • Remove the thin papery skin on the back of each rack of the ribs or ask your butcher to do it. (Pull it off in a sheet with your fingers, using a corner of a dish towel to gain a secure grip.) Place the ribs in a roasting pan and pour the bourbon over them. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour, turning the ribs several times.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the rub in a bowl and stir to mix. Pour off and discard the bourbon. Sprinkle the ribs on both sides with 2/3 of the rub, patting it in with your fingers. Let the ribs marinate for 30 minutes, while you light your grill.
  • Set up your grill for indirect grilling and smoking, using wood chips and adjust the heat to 350 degrees. Arrange the ribs on a rack in the center of the grill away from the heat and cook until very tender and the meat has pulled away from the ends of the bones, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. The last 15 minutes, brush the ribs with 1/3 cup sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining rub. Serve the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

The ribs were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I've made these ribs a few times and they're always a hit! The glaze is easy to make and the ribs always come out moist and delicious.

These ribs were a total disaster! The meat was tough and dry, and the glaze was burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ribs turned out great! The meat was tender and juicy, and the glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and smoky. I'll definitely be making these again.

These ribs were amazing! I've never had ribs that were so tender and flavorful. The glaze was perfect and the meat just fell off the bone. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

The ribs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll use less brown sugar next time.

These ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and had a perfect balance of sweet and smoky flavors. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out amazing! My family loved them.
