**Applebee’s Baby Back Ribs**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 300-325°F (150-160°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub for the ribs.
3. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane and lifting it away from the bone. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat better.
4. Rub the dry spice mixture all over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides.
5. Place the ribs on the grill bone-side down and cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.
6. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce, ensuring to coat them generously.
7. Once the ribs are cooked to perfection and have a nice caramelized glaze, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting.
8. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
9. Enjoy your homemade Applebee’s Baby Back Ribs with your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
The secret to these mouthwatering ribs lies in the slow cooking process and the flavorful dry rub that infuses the meat with delicious taste. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to create a restaurant-quality meal that will have everyone coming back for more. So gather your loved ones, fire up the grill, and get ready to savor the irresistible flavors of Applebee’s Baby Back Ribs right in your own backyard.
