I'm looking to do something a little different with my ribs tonight for dinner. Recommendations? I usually will do the crockpot but have done the oven before. Bonus points if you recommend spices and sauces to go on top
My husband creates a dry rub with a blend of seasons and spices. He dry rubs the ribs and lets them sit overnight. Then he puts them on a roasting rack in a pan. The pan has some apple cider vinegar, whiskey, liquid smoke, and water in it. He cooks them low and slow in the oven and then finishes them on the grill with BBQ sauce.
I smoke mine. So unless you have about 6 hours to kill my method won't work. But they are literally so juicy and tender they fall off the bone!!! I wrap them in foil with apple juice and refill the juice every 2 hours until the last hr and then take them out and BBQ sauce then and smoke them in the open!!!! I'm hungry now
Dry rub of brown sugar, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Bake in oven in foil for 2 1/2 hours. Take out of oven, put BBQ sauce on- can make from scratch or use bottle- and put on grill for 10 minutes.
I guess I'm super out of the loop. I had no idea you could cook ribs in a crock pot?!?! I couldn't eve fit a rack in mine if I tried!! I need to get with the times!!
i grill 'em. i peel the membrane off the underside and then apply a rub i made with paprika, chili powder...and mustard powder? i can't remember. also salt and pepper. grill should be around 300-325, only one burner on. put the ribs on a bit of foil over the burner that's not on. cook for 45min to an hour. turn it down to like 250, sauce it up every 10min or so till the sauce is nice and sticky and carmelized. we like to use famous dave's devil's spit. yum.
i have a gas grill and haven't been brave enough to put a pan of wood chips in for smoking them yet. i've also heard that wrapping the rack up tightly in foil with a 1/4c or so of apple juice for 1/2 an hour in the middle helps make them more tender.
ETA: my ribs still taste a little smoky, even without the chips, because the paprika we buy is always smoked paprika.

You know, I didn't know this until just this year either!! But I use my kitchen scissors or a super sharp knife and cut them in half and then they fit into my crockpot!
