Ingredients
  • 2 racks Spare Ribs
  • 1 cup BBQ Rub (your favorite)
  • 1 cup Bourbon
  • 1 cup Ketchup
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the spare ribs.

2

Season the ribs on both sides with your favorite BBQ rub.

3

Wrap the ribs tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil and bake for 3 to 3.5 hours until very tender.

4

While the ribs cook, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, simmer the bourbon for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

5

Add the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 15 minutes until thickened.

6

Once ribs are tender, carefully remove them from the foil. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

7

Place the ribs on the grill and brush generously with the bourbon BBQ sauce.

8

Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, brushing with more sauce, until sticky and caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.

9

Let rest, slice, and serve with any remaining sauce.
