**Ingredients:**
– 2 racks baby back ribs
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup paprika
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon salt
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1 bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce
**Instructions:**
1. Start by preheating your grill to medium heat, around 300°F (150°C). If using a charcoal grill, set up your charcoal for indirect cooking.
2. Prepare the ribs by removing the tough membrane from the back of the racks. This will help the seasonings penetrate the meat better. Use a paper towel to get a good grip on the membrane and peel it off in one go.
3. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create your dry rub.
4. Rub the dry rub generously all over the racks of ribs, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides. You can use a brush or your hands to massage the rub into the meat.
5. Place the ribs on the preheated grill, bone side down, and cook them over indirect heat. Close the lid and let the ribs smoke and cook for about 2 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature.
6. After 2 hours, check the ribs for doneness. They should have a nice bark on the outside and the meat should be tender and pull away from the bones easily. If needed, cook for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Once the ribs are almost done, brush them with your favorite barbecue sauce, coating them generously. Let the sauce caramelize on the ribs for about 10-15 minutes, giving them a sticky and flavorful glaze.
8. Carefully remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting into them. This will help the juices redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful bite.
9. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve them hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side. Enjoy the tender, flavorful goodness of your World Championship Barbecued Ribs with friends and family!
These World Championship Barbecued Ribs are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. From the savory dry rub to the caramelized barbecue sauce glaze, every bite is packed with flavor. Serve them up with your favorite sides and watch as everyone goes back for seconds. Go ahead and claim the title of BBQ champion with this winning recipe!
