- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a dry rub.
- Place the ribs on a baking sheet and generously coat them with the dry rub mixture, pressing it into the meat.
- Place the ribs on the grill, bone-side down, and cook for 2 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of around 275°F (135°C).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to create the barbecue sauce mixture.
- After 2 hours of cooking, baste the ribs with the barbecue sauce mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Continue to cook the ribs for another 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes to build up a sticky and flavorful glaze.
- Once the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone, they are ready to be served.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting them into individual servings.
- Serve the classic barbecued ribs with extra barbecue sauce on the side and enjoy!
