Ah-mazing BBQ Ribs!!

Oh my goodness were these good and my first time cooking baby back ribs. One of our local stores had them on sale so we bought 3 racks!!  I am getting better at taking note of what I do so bare with me. It does take some time to do so a Saturday or Sunday is best. Or whatever your day off is. 

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 - 2 racks if baby back ribs
Himalayan Sea Salt Blend
Sweet & Smoky BBQ Seasoning (this is from last summer, so if you don't have that, use your fave BBQ rub)
Your fave jar BBQ sauce (we like Sweet Baby Ray's)

Do this early or even the night before for best flavor:  Rinse your racks and trim the silver skin off of the bone side of the rack. I cut mine in half for ease of cooking. Turn your Himalayan Sea Salt grinder a few times to taste. I did 8-9 grinds per side. Then sprinkle with your BBQ rub. Massage it into the meat and wrap in foil.  Repeat with the rest of your half racks. 
When you are ready to cook:  Line a large baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside. 

Take your foil wrapped racks out of the fridge and set on the table or counter. Preheat your oven to 325. Once preheated, place your racks in your baking pan. 
Cover with foil. Bake for approximately 90 minutes. 

Check the temperature with meat thermometer. Once at 150 degrees, remove from the oven. Let sit while you preheat your grill. 

You are going to want to use an indirect heat to finish off the grill. On our gas grill, one preheated, I turned off the left burner,turned  the middle burner on low and the right burner on high. 

Place the ribs on the left side of the grill meat side up. Then mop them generously with the BBQ sauce.  Let them cook for 5 minutes. Turn them over and mop the other side. Let them cook 5 minutes more. 

Once they have cooked on both sides, remove from the grill and place back into your foil covered pan. Let rest for 10 minutes. 

Cut into individual portions and serve with your favorite sides. A serving is 3-4 ribs per person.
