Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  2. 2 Mix salt, sugar, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. 3 Line a large sheet pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place rack of ribs on the prepared pan, bone side down. Poke all over with a sharp knife.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
  4. 4 Coat on both sides with rub; flip back over, ensuring the bone side is down. Wrap tightly with foil.
  5. 5 Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very ashy and hot.
  6. 6 Remove from the refrigerator, unwrap, and brush off excess fat. Slice between the bones to separate each rib.
  7. 7 Combine ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and cayenne with a spoon in a bowl for glaze.
  8. 8 Place ribs on the preheated grill and cook for 2 minutes; flip and brush over glaze. Flip and repeat process until ribs are as caramelized as you prefer, about 10 minutes more.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. 2 Cut each full rack of ribs in half to make 4 half racks. Season with salt and black pepper (more black pepper than salt); sprinkle 1 tablespoon ground chile pepper over meat.
  3. 3 Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil for 5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Add molasses, 2 teaspoons salt, garlic powder, whisky, remaining 1/2 tablespoon ground chile pepper, liquid smoke, onion powder, paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer uncovered until sauce thickens, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set sauce aside.
  5. 5 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  6. 6 Remove wrapped ribs from the oven. Let stand for 10 minutes, then remove ribs from the foil.
  7. 7 Cook ribs on the preheated grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on ribs while grilling, just before you serve them (adding sauce too early will burn ribs).
