HOW TO COOK DELICIOUS DRY RUB BBQ BABY BACK RIBS

Chances are, you’ve enjoyed a variety of BBQ ribs if your lifetime. If you’ve cooked ribs before, maybe you have tried the variety of ways of preparing them, such as parboiling ribs, cooking ribs in the oven or just flat out grilling ribs on a charcoal or gas grill. We’re going to give you a recipe that is simple and yields both tender ribs with amazing flavor!

To sauce or not may be one of the biggest questions amongst the BBQ family. BBQ sauce can provide a nice sheen or glaze to the rack of ribs, while providing tangy sweetness that will caramelize at the right heat due to the sugars. The challenge is sauces can cover up the flavors from both the dry rub and the cook (wood or charcoal flavors). If you’re going to want sauce, choose one with natural sugar rather than HFCS try it with another recipe. This one’s for dry rub only!

Dr. Bacon’s preferred method of cooking racks of ribs is with a delicious dry rub on a pellet smoker such as a Traeger Pellet Grill or offset smoked to absorb the flavors of the wood. You can also achieve on a Big Green Egg or similar kamado cooking station.
