Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks baby back ribs
- 4 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Rib Rub
- ⅓ cup Hey Grill Hey Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce
- ½ cup whiskey
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup peach nectar
- 8 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F and prepare the ribs while it heats.
- Lift the corner of the membrane on the back of the ribs with a knife. Use a paper towel to grip it and slowly remove the membrane. Trim extra fat if needed.
- Season both sides of the baby back ribs with Hey Grill Hey Rib Rub or Sweet Rub if preferred.
- Place the ribs on the smoker, close the lid, and smoke them for 3 hours.
- Prepare two large sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Add 2 Tablespoons of butter on each sheet and sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Take the ribs from the smoker and place them meat side down onto the butter and brown sugar. Fold up the foil edges to hold in the juices. Pour peach nectar, whiskey, and remaining butter over the ribs.
- Seal the foil by bringing the long sides together and rolling tightly, then fold the short ends to ensure the ribs are fully wrapped.
- Return the foiled ribs to the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for another 2 hours until they reach 195-200 degrees F.
- After removing the ribs from the foil, place them bone side down on the smoker and baste with Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce. Smoke for an additional 30-60 minutes until the sauce is set and ribs are tender.
- Let the ribs rest for 15 minutes before slicing into individual portions. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
Notes
Ensure you have enough wood for smoking throughout the cooking process.
For added flavor, consider spritzing the ribs with apple juice during cooking.
Resting the ribs is key to locking in the juices before serving.
