The boy has been craving some ribs so tonight it was baby backs!!

We just LOVE the supplier of these ribs….they are smaller, have no loin meat, and have the membrane removed.

I also like to section the ribs to 4 bone sections…..I flipped one over to show that the san membrane….

I put a light coating of Dijon for rub glue and then “dropped in the sand” seasoned them with a modified Jeff P. Original rub, note I double the base spices and add a Tbsp of powdered butter and do. 1/3 each split of the sugar of brown, in the raw and white sugar…..

Put these on the RT 1250 top rack at 235……

Since these are smaller they are a short cook, these are 2 hours in ready for a glaze….

Glazed up….1.5C chicken stock, 2 Tbsp rub, 1 Tbsp raw sugar & white wine vinegar with a pinch of salt and a splash of starch slurry….simmered and reduced by 1/2…..flipped and glazed the back at the 2 hour mark….

Flipped and glazed to top side at the 2.5 hour mark….

Pulled them at 3 hours and the. Glazed and then under the house broiler to get it nice and set….it goes bubbly vs blackening cause the minimal sugar and stock base……all down now and ready to slice….

Thanks for viewing our winter time BB dinner snack!
 
Wow, that looks amazing. By "doubled the base spices", I presume you mean the Paprika and everything below that in the recipe, correct? Ie, a cup of Paprika, etc... in your version.
 
What a coincidence... I too had baby backs yesterday! Or did I? No pics so it may not have happened. Either way, those look marvelous!
 
Very nice! Looks darn good! I need to look for those type of ribs. I really don’t think grocery stores around here sell that brand.

Thanks dw! Sugar and paprika ratio is the same. Forgot but I 1/2 the black pepper and red pepper then double the other spices…..
Great meal I could dive into, pretty pics also.

David
Much appreciated David!
Those BBs look good. Would love find some of that quality around here.
Thanks norm! They often sell out but they are worth the waiting for them. They are spendy by lb but not per rack….but the quality!
 
Man those are gonna make me want ribs today haha. Curious why you cut them in half before cooking?
Many thanks SUP! I like the portions so there are more end cuts. Ie nice serving sizes. I haven’t done a full rack for a long time.

Those look killer and the glaze puts them out of the park!

Yeah, a meal like that will make a boy grow. Very nice, civil.
Thanks Colin….. yup will agrew he is now working 10 hour shifts at the hospital so he comes home hungry!

I’m note sure they sell many outside the state. If you have an Albertsons or affiliate that would be the place to look. I think they buy all they produce
Great looking set of ribs Cortney! Like the Glaze action, just right 👍
Many thanks schlotz! Layers of flavor is the full with the glaze!
