Cooking Directions

  1. Combine sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, thyme, garlic, and zest; spread on a sheet pan; let stand at room temperature overnight so sugar will be hard and dry. Grind in food processor to fine powder.
  2. Brush ribs with oil; lightly coat with sugar mixture.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium hot; grill ribs, fat side down first, until meat is just coming off the bone, 20 to 30 minutes per side. Cool slightly. Slice into individual ribs, and serve.

Yield: 16 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Maple sugar, which is available at specialty-food stores, adds a distinctive taste to this dish, but light-brown sugar can be substituted.

    You cannot get pull-off-the-bone ribs in 1 hour, much less 20 minutes per side. Once again, the queen of the jail cell is blowing "smoke up your butt". It just goes to show you how shallow this fake "diva" is. All puff and no substance. She has never cooked proper ribs in her life.

    brine your rack of ribs with 1/2 lb of kosher salt, 1/2 lb of brown sugar, 4Tbs of garlic{fresh}, and 2Tbs of black pepper, and 1 gallon of water overnight or at least 5 hours befor cooking. Oven at 350 degrees cover tightly with foil and go low and slow until internal temp of 215 to 218 degrees. pull out of your oven and cool at room temp for 20 min, then into the fridge still covered {keep the moisture in the tightly wrapped ribs} overnight again. two days prep you ask? yes 2 days!! finish on the grill on low heat until a nice brown crust have formed. truthfully you don\\'t even need sauce but stay away from carolina style sauce go for a st louis or texas style if you must.

    There\\'s enough sugar in the recipe for 20 racks of ribs.Try cooking theses on the grill and you\\'ll end up with a big pile of burned sugar.It might be OK on a smoker,cooked low and slow but there\\'s really no need for all the sugar.You cook ribs for this short of time and your dog will have a hard time chewing them.Why did I stop on this site anyway,I should have known there would be some bull flying around in here.Just don\\'t cook your ribs this way and don\\'t boil them ether.
