Ingredients
Instructions
-
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane, gripping it with a paper towel, and pulling it off.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make the spice rub.
-
Generously season both sides of the ribs with the spice rub, pressing it gently into the meat.
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat and set it up for indirect cooking (coals on one side for charcoal grills, or heat one side only for gas grills).
-
Place the seasoned ribs on the grill, meaty side up, away from direct heat. Close the lid and cook for about 2 hours.
-
Remove the ribs from the grill and wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil to trap heat and moisture.
-
Place the wrapped ribs back on the grill and cook for an additional 1 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones easily.
-
Unwrap the ribs and brush them generously with barbecue sauce.
-
Return the ribs to the grill, exposed side down, and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes to caramelize the sauce and create a sticky glaze.
-
Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
-
Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
