Laura Vitale Instagram – If you want to make the best, fool proof, fall apart tender ribs, this is your recipe and couldn’t be easier just follow my method. Picture this, dry rubbed and refrigerated (tightly sealed in foil) for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 (I do 24) then slowly roasted at 300 degrees for 2.5 hours, take out of the oven, allow to sit about 20 minutes while you preheat your grill. Fill a smoking box with some chips (you don’t have to soak these particular ones I use) and place that smoking box directly on the flame on one side of the grill (you won’t be grilling them directly over that smoking box) once the grill is preheated to medium heat (I like right around 400) and the chips are smoking, place the ribs on the grill (again, not directly over the spot with the chips) take the drippings from the foil or pan and add them to a bowl with some bbq sauce, mix and start brushing this mixture over the ribs (the top sort of “meat” side of the ribs) and brush every 10 minutes for 30 minutes total or until the bbq sauce has caramelized over the top of the ribs and the meat reaches a temp of over 210 degrees. This should take about 30 minutes which is the exact amount of time the chips will burn so if your temp isn’t there yet after 30 minutes, carefully add more smoking chips to the box and continue to smoke/grill them until it does. I don’t flip my ribs because I want to keep the meat side really juicy and the bottom caramelizes perfectly leaving you with nibbles of meat that are slightly chewy (in a good way) and addictively sweet. Ingredient breakdown is per rack of baby back ribs so adjust accordingly. This recipe is as easy to make for 4 as it is for 30 because you’re just adding more racks and adjusting the cooking time slightly but no harder process. Now make them for your Labor Day weekend and be prepared to be told these are the best ribs anyone has ever had! Serve with bbq classics
