List of Ingredients
Smoky Chipotle Baby Back Ribs
3 slabs baby back pork ribs (about 5 1/2 pounds)
2 oranges, halved
1 recipe Chipotle Rub ( see below )
1 recipe Smoky Chipotle 'Cue Sauce ( see below )
Chipotle Rub
2 to 3 canned chipotle chile peppers
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
Smoky Chipotle 'Cue Sauce
2 (18-ounce) bottles barbecue sauce
2 canned chipotle chili peppers
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
Recipe
Rinse and pat ribs dry. If desired, remove thin membrane from back of
ribs by slicing into it with a knife and then pulling it off (this will
make ribs more tender).
Rub meat with cut sides of oranges, squeezing as you rub. Massage
Chipotle Rub into meat, covering all sides. Wrap tightly with plastic
wrap, and place in a zip-top freezer bag or 13- x 9-inch baking dish;
chill 8 hours. Let ribs stand at room temperature 30 minutes before
grilling. Remove plastic wrap.
To grill on a charcoal grill: Prepare hot fire by piling charcoal on one
side of grill, leaving the other side empty. Place food grate on grill;
position rib rack on grate over unlit side. Place slabs in rack. Grill,
covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 1 hour.
Reposition rib slabs, placing the one closest to the heat source away
from heat, moving other slabs closer. Grill 1 more hour or until meat is
tender. Grill 30 more minutes over medium heat (325° to 350°), basting
with half of Smoky Chipotle 'Cue Sauce. Remove ribs from grill, and let
stand 10 minutes. Cut ribs, slicing between bones. Serve with remaining
sauce.
To grill on a gas grill: Light only one side. Coat food grate with
vegetable cooking spray, and place on grill; position rib rack on grate
over unlit side. Place rib slabs in rack. Grill, covered with grill lid,
over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 1 hour. Reposition rib slabs,
placing the ones closet to the heat source away from heat and moving
other slabs closer. Grill 1 more hour or until meat is tender. Lower
temperature to medium heat (325° to 350°), and cook ribs 30 more
minutes, basting with half of Smoky Chipotle 'Cue Sauce. Remove ribs
from grill, and let stand 10 minutes. Cut ribs, slicing between bones.
Serve ribs with remaining 'cue sauce.
