SWEET N TASTY BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Make the dry rub by adding all the dry ingredients and mixing well.
• Remove the ribs membrane from the underside of the rack. Insert a small utensil under the membrane skin at a bone location and gently pry the membrane up so that you can grab it with a paper towel. Use the paper towel to get a hold of the membrane and pull of the membrane.
• Liberally apply the rub to the top and bottom of the rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Start your grill, oven or smoker and set the temperature to 250 degrees. Place a water pan into the grill, under the grill grate, and fill the pan halfway with hot steaming water.
• Place your ribs onto the grill and close the lid. Rotate the ribs once after 2 hours. After 4 hours apply the barbecue sauce to the ribs and then close the lid for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, check the temperature of the ribs. The internal temperature of the ribs should be between 195 degrees and 205 degrees. Cover the ribs and let the ribs rest in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
• While your ribs begin to cook, make the barbecue sauce. The sauce and the rub can be made a head of time.
• Serve the barbecue sauce on the side and provide bottles of hot sauce for your guests that prefer hot and spicy ribs. Enjoy!

SWEET AND SPICY ASIAN BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to approximately 250 degrees F.
• Lightly season the ribs with the five-spice powder so it forms a light crust. Put the ribs, meat side up, over an area of the grill with indirect heat. Let the ribs cook for 2 hours.
• While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook slowly to render its fat, about 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the particles with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallot and garlic, and saute until fragrant and slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the light soy sauce and rice vinegar. Allow the liquid to deglaze the pan for a moment, and then whisk vigorously to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hoisin sauce and ketchup, and continue whisking together until well incorporated. Simmer the glaze for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the honey, apricot preserves and brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ginger, whisk and keep simmering for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the chili sauce and let the sauce simmer for a final 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce in a separate bowl.
• After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, begin basting them with the barbecue sauce. Coat them well once every 15 minutes, until the ribs reach an internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the ribs from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, tented with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Slice the ribs between each bone and arrange them on a serving dish. Drizzle with the reserved glaze and garnish with the chopped green onions.

Uncover the pan; carefully pour out the cooking liquid. Stir 1/4 cup cooking liquid into the sauce, then discard the rest of the liquid. Generously brush the ribs with the sauce. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting, uncovered, until the ribs are golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes.
