- 2 racks baby back ribs
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon green chile powder
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 cups Dr Pepper Jalapeno BBQ Sauce
Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
Slice ribs right between the bones.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic, onion powder, green chile powder, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and dry mustard.
Sprinkle over all sides of the ribs.
Rest ribs at room temperature while you prepare the grill fire with hickory for smoke flavor to about 300°.
Cook ribs over indirect heat with the grill lid closed.
Use a digital thermometer to cook ribs to about 180°, this will take around 1 1/2 hours.
Remove to a clean sheet pan and coat with bbq sauce on all sides.
Return to the grill and close the lid. Continue to cook until ribs reach about 200° - 210°.
Remove from the grill and cool about 5- 10 minutes before serving.
Store leftover cooled ribs in an airtight container or wrapped in foil in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
Reheat ribs with additional sauce wrapped in foil in a 350° oven for about 15 minutes or use an air fryer at 350° for about 4 minutes.
