Best Ribs For Grilling:
At a loss as to what kind of ribs to use? We’ve got you covered! Choose between:
Saint LouisBaby BackSpare
We like using spare ribs best! Opt for a beautifully marbled piece of meat if you can to ensure the ultimate results: juicy and tender grilled ribs.
BBQ Sauce Options:
As mentioned, you’ll need to slather on some BBQ sauce for the final cooking step in this tender grilled ribs recipe. You can use store-bought or homemade, the choice is yours! If you do want to use store-bought, we recommend using our friend Susie’s line over at Hey, Grill, Hey!
Should I Remove The Rib Membrane Before Grilling?
Lots of rib recipes call for you to remove the membrane before you get started. While this is fairly easy to do, we recommend that you leave it! It acts as a lining to help the ribs stay juicy. Plus, when you crank up the high heat at the end it crisps up perfectly.
Why Do I Need To Wrap The Ribs In Foil Before Grilling?
It’s important not to just toss the ribs on the grill. We like to wrap the meat in aluminum foil first so that it braises and tenderizes. If you’re not keen to use foil, you can use a disposable pan. Just make sure to seal the top so that those juices don’t escape.
Do You Flip Grilled Ribs?
We recommend that you do. As noted on the recipe card, you’re going to want to slow cook your grilled barbecue ribs over low heat for up to 3 hours. Once you remove them from the aluminum foil packet and apply the barbecue sauce of your choice, throw them back on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side for perfectly caramelized results.
