Chipotle-Honey Barbecue Ribs

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 rack pork ribs

  * any variety will work
• 2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions

• 1 Trim the excess fat off the ribs and place them on a large piece of foil.
• 2 Mix together the spices for the chipotle rub and rub half onto the top of meat,
  flip and repeat on the other side with the remaining rub. Let sit for 20-30
  minutes.
• 3 While the ribs are sitting, whisk together all of the ingredients for the honey
  barbecue sauce in a medium bowl. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until
  needed.
• 4 Mix together the apple cider vinegar and water and set aside.
• 5 Turn only one side of your grill on. You can either lay the ribs directly on the
  grill rack or on top of the foil, but be sure to place them to the side of the
  grill without the flame.
• 6 Close the lid of the grill and cook for 30 minutes, maintaining a temperature of
  350°F. Adjust the heat as needed by lowering the burner rather than opening the
  grill.
• 7 After the 30 minutes is up, put the ribs back onto the foil and fold the sides
  up to prevent any liquid from running off.
• 8 Pour the apple cider vinegar mixture over the ribs and wrap tightly in the foil.
  Return the ribs to the same area of the grill and cook at 375°F for another 30
  minutes.
• 9 Check the ribs after 30 minutes. If they still appear to be under-cooked, return
  them to the grill for another 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through.
• 10 Once the ribs are cooked through, lower the heat so the temperature stays around
  250°F.
• 11 Open the foil and baste the top half of the ribs with some of the honey barbecue
  sauce. Close the grill lid.
• 12 After 5 minutes, flip the ribs out and repeat the process on the other side.
  Continue flipping the ribs and basting every 5 minutes for a total of 30
  minutes.
• 13 After the last 5 minute cooking cycle, remove the ribs from the grill. Slice and
  serve.
