Baby Back Ribs With Chipotle Honey Barbecue Sauce Food

FALL APART OVEN BAKED RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the Rub ingredients in a bowl.
• Pat the ribs dry, then rub with the Rub. If time permits, refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Take ribs out of the fridge, place in a large baking dish in a single layer (squished is ok, they will shrink slightly).
• Preheat oven to 160C/325F.
• Pour beer into the baking dish and cover with a lid (use foil if you don't have a lid). Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the Sauce.
• Take out of the oven and remove lid. Pour the sauce over the ribs, then return to the oven (uncovered).
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, turning once or twice, until the ribs are cooked to your liking. The meat should be very tender and comes off the bone easily, and the sauce should be thick and "jam-like". If the pan starts looking dry, add a splash of water.
• To finish the ribs off, grill/broil for 5 to 10 minutes to get a nice browned finish on top (this is an optional step).
• Serve, garnished with fresh coriander/cilantro leaves and wedges of lime.

HONEY CHIPOTLE RIBS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, honey, sauce from the chipotles, chipotle chiles, garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, Maggi, black pepper and oregano. Mix well.
• Line a large roasting pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Pour some sauce on the bottom of the pan, put in the ribs and pour the remaining sauce on top. Cover with foil, sealing the entire top of the pan, and marinate for 30 minutes up to 24 hours. If marinating more than 30 minutes, keep the ribs refrigerated.
• When ready to cook the meat, remove it from the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slip the pan with the ribs into the oven and roast for 1 1/2 hours. Take the ribs from the oven and carefully remove the aluminum foil, taking care not to be burned by the steam. Spoon the thickened sauce from the bottom of the pan on top of the ribs and place them back in the oven to roast another 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are beautifully browned and sticky. Remove from the oven, let rest, then slice into 2- to 3-bone pieces and pile on a platter.
• Alternatively, after you remove the foil, you can finish off the ribs on the grill at medium heat, for about 15 minutes.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional barbecue sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
• About 40 minutes before you want to serve, heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. After the charcoal turns gray, brush the cooking grate with oil to keep the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs-side down, put the lid on top (be sure both vents are open!) and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs meat-side down, put the lid back on and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned.

ALTERNATE HONEY BARBECUE SAUCE WITH RIBLETS (APPLEBEE'S COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Preparing the Riblets: First, season the riblets with salt, pepper and garlic, depending on how spicy you want them.
• Then, sear the ribs on the grill/broiler until both sides are mahogany in color and the meat has begun to pull away from the bone (155°F internal temperature).
• Place the riblets on rack in a deep pan/roaster.
• Cover the bottom of the pan with a mixture of water and liquid smoke flavoring (4:1 ratio of water to liquid smoke).
• Apply the mixture strategically, so as not to touch the riblets (it will make them bitter), just cover the space between them.
• Seal the pan tightly with two layers of foil wrap to cover.
• Slow cook the riblets in 275°F oven until their meat is tender. Time varies with how many riblets are being cooked, the pan used and your oven temperature. Plan on anywhere from two to five hours, but check to be sure. The slower, the better for this process. Just make sure an internal food temperature of 155°F is maintained.
• You can also try covering the riblets with chopped onions, peppers and tomatoes. This also keeps them moist and adds a nice flavor.
• When the riblets are fully cooked and tender, remove them from the oven and finish them off on grill/broiler until the marrow in the bone tips "sizzles".
• Preparing the Honey Barbecue Sauce: Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan and simmer them for 20 minutes.
• Brush the riblets with the sauce and serve them warm.
