Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 300-325°F (150-160°C). If using a gas grill, preheat one side to medium heat and leave the other side off for indirect cooking.
-
While the grill is heating up, prepare the spareribs by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This can be done by sliding a butter knife under the membrane and then pulling it off with a paper towel for better grip.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful marinade for the ribs.
-
Place the spareribs in a large baking dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
-
Once the ribs have marinated, remove them from the dish or bag and discard any excess marinade. Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, over indirect heat.
-
Close the grill and let the ribs cook for about 2 hours, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. You can baste the ribs with additional barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a sticky, caramelized finish.
-
To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the ribs reaches 190°F (88°C). The meat should be tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
-
Once done, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing between the bones to serve. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy barbecued spareribs with your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
