Provided by Food Network

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 pounds pork baby back ribs
1/2 cup apple juice, plus 1/4 cup
1 cup barbecue sauce
2/3 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium.
  • Combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper, mustard and salt in small bowl. Mix until well blended. Put each rib rack onto a large piece of heavy duty foil. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto both rib racks. Fold up the sides of the foil, and pour 1/4 cup of apple juice into each rib foil packet. Close the foil package, leaving room at the top for heat circulation. Grill the packets for 1 hour on medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup apple juice, the barbeque sauce, applesauce, cider vinegar, cinnamon and ginger in small bowl until well blended.
  • Remove the ribs from the foil packet. Return them to the grill and brush them with the barbecue sauce mixture until well coated and caramelized.
  • Remove the racks from the grill to a cutting board and cut into 2-rib sections. Arrange the ribs on a serving platter and serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will impart different flavors to the marinade and sauce. For a classic candy apple flavor, use Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter sauce, use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples. For a tart sauce, use Braeburn or Pink Lady apples.
  • Be patient: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Use a grill or smoker: Grilling or smoking the chicken will give it a delicious smoky flavor. If you don't have a grill or smoker, you can also bake the chicken in the oven.
  • Baste the chicken frequently: Basting the chicken with the marinade or sauce will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the chicken every few minutes during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

Conclusion:

This candy apple BBQ marinade and sauce is a delicious way to add flavor to your chicken. The marinade is made with apple cider, brown sugar, honey, and spices, and the sauce is made with the same ingredients, plus ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your next cookout.
