Best Chilis Baby Back Ribs Recipes

PRIZE WINNING BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbeque. Lightly oil the grate.
• In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.
• Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.
• Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you're using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all.
• Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Cut the rib slabs in half, leaving 6 to 8 ribs per section. In a large roasting pan, arrange the ribs evenly, then add the water. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil to prevent steam from escaping. Bake for 3 hours.
• About 2 hours into the baking time, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Prepare the coals in a barbecue. Remove the ribs from the roasting pan. Discard the water.
• Cover the ribs with the sauce, saving about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce for later use at the table. Grill the ribs on the barbecue for about 5 minutes per side, or until slightly charred.
• Serve with the remaining sauce and lots of paper towels or moist towelettes.
• ***ALTERNATE SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: Place the ribs in a slow cooker, pouring the sauce over. Let cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender.

Steps:

• Make the ribs: In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and white pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Season both sides of the baby back ribs with some of the dry rub, reserving the rest for another use.
• Add the water, liquid smoke, and apple cider vinegar to the basin of an Instant Pot. Place the rack insert in the bottom and set the ribs on the rack on their sides, spiraling around the inside of the pot.
• Close the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure the vent is set to sealing. Select manual pressure and set the pressure to high. Set the timer for 25 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn the machine to venting to release the pressure.
• Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce, chipotle in adobo, chili powder and orange juice. Set aside.
• When the ribs have about 10 minutes of cook time left, arrange an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and turn the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the barbecue sauce.
• Broil the ribs for 2-4 minutes, until the sauce begins to caramelize.
• Enjoy!
