Ingredients

• 2 racks of baby back ribs (about 4-5 lbs total)
• 1 cup Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preparing the Grill

1. Fire up the grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Aim for a medium heat of around 300°F for slow-cooking the ribs.

Preparing the Ribs

2. Remove the membrane: Use a knife to remove the thin membrane on the back of the ribs for better tenderness and flavor absorption.
3. Season the ribs: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this seasoning blend generously over both sides of the ribs.
4. Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the ribs with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere and to promote even browning.

Grilling the Ribs

5. Start grilling: Place the ribs on the outer edge of the cooktop, away from direct heat. Cover with a grill lid or foil to retain moisture. Grill for 2-3 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
6. Glaze with Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Sauce: During the last 30 minutes of grilling, generously brush the ribs with Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Sauce. Continue to baste the ribs with the sauce every 10 minutes to build up a sticky, flavorful glaze.

Finishing Touches

7. Rest the ribs: Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Serve: Slice the ribs between the bones and arrange them on a platter. Brush with more Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips

• Low and slow: Cooking the ribs slowly at a lower temperature ensures they become tender and flavorful.
• Sauce layers: Applying multiple layers of Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Sauce during the final grilling phase creates a thick, caramelized glaze.
• Make ahead: You can season the ribs a day in advance to let the flavors fully develop before grilling.

Conclusion

Grilled ribs with Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Sauce offer a perfect balance of sweetness and heat, making them a standout dish for any barbecue. The sauce's honeyed sweetness and spicy kick enhance the tender, smoky ribs, creating a mouthwatering experience that’s sure to please.
