“JUST RIGHT BABY…BACK RIBS!”
Yes baby or that’s right baby! Whichever you like. This slow cooked baby back ribs are just spectacular even without the barbecue sauce! Marinated with a pineapple marinade for just 1 hour and thrown unto the grill with hickory charcoal…and they just melt into your mouth or someone’s who is very lucky! In deed.
FOR THE MARINADE
For the marinade I used 1 cup of pineapple juice, grated enough lemon zest for 2 tablespoons, 2 tablespoons of freshly grounded black pepper, 2 tablespoons of freshly grounded red pepper, 1 tablespoon coarse salt, 1 tablespoon of garlic power and onion powder. I combined everything and poured it unto the baby back ribs in a shallow dish big enough for the ribs to fit flat and marinated them for 1 whole hour turning over after 35-40 minutes. Put the beefy side down first.
AT THE PIT
After cleaning my barbecue grill I added KINGS FORD Hickory Charcoal and lit up the fire. 30 minutes afterwards I added a couple of hickory chunks and shifted the fire over to one side. Then I cleaned the grill itself with my wire brush and finished it of by rubbing the cooking side of the grill with half an onion. I threw the baby back ribs to the side where there was no coals and grilled it for 1 hour. 40 minutes into the grilling time I flipped them over to its meaty side and wrapped them with aluminum foil in the last 10 minutes tuning the meaty side up. That’s all folks! Enjoy as is or rub a little barbecue sauce if you like. Either way, they are super delicious!
Super delicious straight off the grill without the added calories of the barbecue sauce! This baby back ribs grilled on hickory coals are really good and tasty!
