BEST-EVER GRILLED RIBS
Steps:
- Preheat a grill (charcoal or gas) to 300˚, with the coals or flames only under one half of the grill.
- For the spice rub: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne (if using) to combine.
- Place the rack of ribs on a large sheet tray and remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Rub the vegetable oil all over both sides of the ribs, then sprinkle evenly with the spice rub.
- Place the ribs on the sheet tray, with the curves of the bones facing down. Add the chicken stock and vinegar to the tray. Wrap the tray tightly with aluminum foil and place on the grill over the side with no coals/flame. Cook over indirect heat until the internal temperature of the ribs reads 180˚ to 190˚, about 80 to 90 minutes.
- Increase the grill temperature to 375˚ and oil the grill grates well. Transfer the ribs directly over the grill grates and brush the tops with the BBQ sauce. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully turn the ribs over and baste the other side with the BBQ sauce. Cover again and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Continue basting and turning the ribs until the BBQ sauce has created a sticky coating and the ribs are charred in spots, 10 to 20 minutes longer.
- Transfer the ribs to a cutting board, cut into pieces and serve.

BARBECUE RIBS
This recipe is easier than it sounds. I usually cook the ribs the day before and grill them for a quick dinner the next night. FYI: the sauce is much better after it is cooked. It is not a dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Tip the ribs into a big bowl (not a metal one) and throw in the spring onions, chilli and garlic. Now spoon all the remaining ingredients over the ribs and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Get your hands in the bowl and turn the ribs over and over again until they're coated in the sauce. (You can keep the ribs uncooked - tightly covered - in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for several months.)
- Cook the ribs over a moderate barbecue for 20-30 minutes depending on their size, turning them over frequently and brushing with sauce each time. The turning and brushing is important, so that all four sides of each rib get encrusted with the sauce, which builds up like a lacquer. If you have any leftover sauce at the end, heat it up in a pan and pour it over the ribs just before serving.

Steps:
- Mix salt, brown sugar, black pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Place spareribs on a rimmed baking sheet; pat dry with paper towels. Using a paring knife, remove silver skin from underside. (It should come off in a single sheet; start to separate it with the tip of your knife, then pull away with your hand. Removing the silver skin allows the dry rub and barbecue sauce to penetrate the meat; if you purchased ribs from a butcher, the silver skin may have already been removed.) Sprinkle dry rub all over ribs, patting to adhere. Using your hands, spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce all over ribs. Wrap in foil and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off); oil grate. Strive to maintain a grill temperature between 280°F and 300°F. Place foil-wrapped ribs, bone side up, on grate over indirect heat. Cover and grill 30 minutes. Uncover grill and turn ribs over. Cover and grill until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ribs registers 145°F-160°F (peel back foil as needed to check), 20-30 minutes.
- Unwrap ribs and brush on both sides with more barbecue sauce. Grill, bone side up, uncovered, until sauce darkens and meat very tender and falling off the bones, 10-12 minutes. Using large tongs, carefully transfer ribs to a cutting board. Let rest 5-7 minutes before cutting between bones into individual ribs.
- Serve ribs with remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality spare ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are thin or have a lot of bone.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs: This tough membrane can make the ribs difficult to eat. Use a sharp knife to carefully score the membrane and then peel it off.
- Season the ribs generously: Use a rub made from a combination of spices, herbs, and brown sugar. This will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help to tenderize the ribs and make them fall-off-the-bone tender. Cook the ribs for at least 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking: This will help to caramelize the sauce and give the ribs a delicious glaze.
Conclusion:
Grilled spare ribs are a classic summer dish that is sure to please everyone. By following these tips, you can make grilled spare ribs that are tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone delicious. So fire up your grill and get started!
