Ingredients

2 racks of baby back pork ribs
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Ribs: Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, and pat them dry with paper towels.
Make the Rub: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Apply the Rub: Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat. Let the ribs sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cook the Ribs: Place the ribs on the grill or smoker bones down, and cook them slowly for about 4-5 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature. For added moisture, you can spritz the ribs with apple juice every hour.
Glaze with BBQ Sauce: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Serve: Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
