Brown Sugar Bourbon Ribs
Discover the secret to mouthwatering Smoked Brown Sugar Bourbon Ribs. This easy Southern-style BBQ recipe guarantees tender, juicy pork ribs with sweet and smoky flavors.
Equipment
- 1 outdoor grill or barbecue pit
- 1 roll of aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 1 large slab of pork ribs
- 1/4 cup McCormick Brown Sugar & Bourbon seasoning blend
- 2 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 bottle brown sugar barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Rub:In a small bowl, combine the McCormick Brown Sugar & Bourbon seasoning blend, black pepper, salt, onion powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to create your dry rub.
- Season the Ribs:Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork ribs, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. This step is key to packing in those deep Southern flavors.
- Wrap the Ribs:Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in foil, repeating this process three times. Start each wrap from a different side to lock in the juices and keep the ribs moist while smoking.
- Smoke the Ribs:Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a low-heat smoker or barbecue grill. Smoke the ribs slowly for at least 3 - 4 hours, letting the low temperature work its magic. The result? Ribs so tender they practically fall off the bone.
- Add the Sauce:Once the ribs are fully cooked and almost ready to serve, carefully remove them from the foil. Baste them generously with brown sugar barbecue sauce. Let the ribs cook on the grill for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create a mouthwatering glaze.
- Serve & Enjoy:Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve them with your favorite potato side dish and fresh veggies for the perfect Southern BBQ meal.
