Chili’s Baby Back Ribs

by Stephanie

Two copycat recipes in one week! I love Chili’s Baby Back Ribs! Hope this recipe will heat up some grills out there..!

Chili’s Grilled Baby Back Ribs

Sauce:
1 1/2 C water
1 C apple cider vinegar
1/2 C tomato paste
1 T yellow mustard
2/3 C dark brown sugar — packed
1 t liquid hickory smoke
1 1/2 T salt
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t paprika

4 racks baby back ribs

Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce (everything except the ribs!) in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for 45 to 60 minutes or until sauce is thick. When you’re ready to make the ribs, preheat your oven or grill to 275 degrees. Brush sauce over the entire surface of each rack of ribs. Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and arrange the packets on a baking sheet with the seam of the foil facing up. Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or
until the meat on the ribs has pulled back from the cut ends of the bones by about 1/2 inch. When the ribs are just about done, preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat (or if you’re using the grill to cook the ribs, crank it up to 350-400!) Remove the ribs from the foil (careful not to burn yourself - the liquid inside will be hot!) and grill them on the barbecue for 4 to 8 minutes per side or until the surface of the ribs is beginning to char. Brush sauce on both sides of the ribs a few minutes before you remove them from the grill. Just be sure not to brush on the sauce too soon or it could burn. Serve the ribs with extra sauce on the
side and lots of napkins.
