BBQ ribs are one of my favorite meals, and these don’t disappoint! My favorite part? Besides the great flavor, it’s the mess! Good ribs are meant to be messy. They are an experience all their own, and you better believe you’ll need some wet naps. If you’re purchasing your ribs directly from a butcher and they aren’t prepackaged, you can ask them to remove the silver skin if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself. However, if you do have to remove it yourself, don’t worry it’s easy, and once you get under a small part of it you can just peel the rest off. Also remember to not over baste the BBQ sauce on the ribs while cooking. You want to use about 8 ounces for both racks. If you over sauce, it will just end up dripping down in the fire. You want enough to cover and caramelize while cooking. While these ribs may reach an eating temperature before the grilling time is up, I recommend keeping them on the grill so they not only cook, but become tender. These ribs fall off the bone, down home, and finger licking good. They are perfect for Father’s Day, and are sure to be the life of any get together! Happy BBQing friends!

- Now that you have a nice sear, you can start basting the ribs with the BBQ sauce. Using a kitchen brush, evenly cover the ribs facing up with sauce.
- Allow to continue cooking for 15-20 minutes before flipping over to sauce the other side. You may need to move the ribs around to prevent burning depending on your fire.
- The ribs should become caramelized with the BBQ sauce and reach an internal temperature of 155°F before removing from the grill.
- Let the ribs sit for about 5 minutes before cutting into them.
