Barbecue Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon smoked jalapeno flakes or 1 canned chile in adobo sauce and 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 pounds pork back ribs (baby back ribs)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 12 ounce bottle barbecue sauce
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
1. For spice rub, if using chile in adobo, finely chop with sauce. Combine jalapneo flakes or canned chile and sauce with paprika, brown sugar, salt, cumin, red pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Rub spices on both sides of ribs. Transfer ribs to a jelly-roll pan and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 24 hours.
2. Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap ribs tightly in foil. Transfer to a clean jelly-roll pan. Bake 1 hour. Transfer drippings to a bowl; skim off fat.
3. Heat and oil grill. Remove ribs from foil. Grill 10 minutes, turning ribs every 2 to 3 minutes and brushing each side with some of the reserved drippings.
4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat 1 minute. Add barbecue sauce and thyme sprigs; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Remove thyme, serve with ribs. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
