ADAM PERRY LANG'S SWEET AND STICKY KANSAS-CITY STYLE RIBS

Steps:

• Rub each rack of ribs all over with 2 tablespoons of the barbecue marinade and refrigerate overnight.
• Bring ribs to room temperature and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the dry rub.
• Light a charcoal fire in a covered grill and set it up for indirect grilling: When the temperature reaches 225 degrees, carefully push the hot coals to one side and place a drip pan filled with 1 cup of water on the opposite side. Alternatively, bring a smoker to 225 degrees. Put the ribs on the grill over the drip pan, overlapping them slightly, and cover the grill; you'll need to cook the ribs for about 4 hours total, or until the meat pulls away from the bones and is very tender. Maintain the temperature at 225 degrees by replenishing the charcoal with a fresh batch of burning coals every hour. Every hour, drain 1/2 cup of the wood chips and scatter them over the hot coals. Add water to the drip pan when half of it is evaporated. After 1 1/2 hours, spray the baby back ribs with the Cider Mop spray and rotate them on the grill; repeat spraying every 45 minutes.
• Remove the drip pan and spread the coals in an even layer. Replenish with fresh coals to make a medium-hot fire. Dilute the Sweet and Sticky Barbecue Sauce with 1/2 cup water. Brush sauce over ribs and cook for 30 minutes, turning often. Repeat brushing 4 or 5 times to build a sticky glaze. Transfer the ribs to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut between each rib and serve. (If you would like to prepare them ahead, the glazed ribs can be refrigerated overnight. Serve cold or reheat in a 325 degrees oven.)
• In a blender, puree the chopped garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion and water. The marinade can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
• In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. The dry rub can be refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.
• In a large, glass measuring cup, combine the apple juice, water and vinegar. Pour into a spray bottle and refrigerate. The mop spray can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic, onion, green pepper and a large pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the rum and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, black pepper, allspice and cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, water, ketchup, molasses, mustard, vinegar and hot sauce and simmer over moderate heat, stirring often, until thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the barbecue sauce to a large food processor and puree. Season the sauce with salt. The barbecue sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

• Place racks in upper third and middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a double layer of foil. Mix brown sugar, 1/2 Tbsp. kosher salt, and 1/2 Tbsp. Chinese five-spice powder in a small bowl to make a rub.
• Cut St. Louis-style ribs in half. Transfer to prepared sheet. Season all over with spice rub, being sure to coat sides and edges and to gently press the rub into the meat. Pour 1½ cups water into baking sheet, then cover tightly with foil. Bake on middle rack until meat is very tender and bones are exposed, 100-115 minutes. If racks of ribs you're cooking are much smaller than called for, check early-they'll cook in less time.
• Meanwhile, whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and remaining 1/2 tsp. Chinese five-spice powder in a small saucepan to combine.
• Peel and finely grate ginger and garlic cloves into saucepan. Heat over medium and bring to simmer, whisking often. Cook, stirring, until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2-3 minutes longer. Cover pot; set aside until ribs are ready.
• When ribs are cooked and tender, carefully remove and discard top layer of foil from baking sheet. Preheat broiler.
• Brush half of sauce over ribs, turning ribs with tongs to coat both sides. Arrange flesh side (convex side) up. Transfer to top rack of oven and broil until ribs are lacquered in sauce and caramelized in some parts, 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and brush remaining sauce over.
• Transfer ribs to a cutting board. Cut in between each bone to separate ribs. Transfer to a platter or serve right off cutting board.

SWEET AND STICKY PORK RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cutting the racks in half to fit if necessary. Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and cayenne in a small bowl, and rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until the meat is very tender and separate easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. While the ribs are roasting make the BBQ sauce.
• For the sauce: Place the balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and cook the vinegar until it is reduced by a third, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce and salt. Bring the the sauce back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• To finish, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to 2 aluminum-foil-lined baking sheets. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce is browned and sizzling. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
