SCOTT HIBB'S AMAZING WHISKEY GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
• Cut each full rack of ribs in half, so that you have 4 half racks.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tablespoon chili pepper over meat.
• Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil.
• Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Cook and stir the onions in oil for 5 minutes.
• Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chili pepper.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat.
• Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens.
• Remove from heat, and set sauce aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Remove the racks from the foil, and place on the grill.
• Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).
