Slow oven cooking in foil for 2.5 hours at 350\u00b0F, then high heat BBQ finish with multiple bastings for the final caramelization that changes everything. The result? Tender ribs that melt in your mouth, with a caramelized crust slightly charred like in the best smokehouses of the southern United States.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd25 My classic homemade smoked BBQ sauce. The angle that changes everything<\/h3>\n<p>The secret of this recipe is the ultra-complete homemade BBQ sauce: ketchup, apple cider vinegar, double sugar (brown and white sugar), double syrup (molasses and honey), Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, yellow mustard, garlic and onion powder, chili powder, liquid smoke and unsalted butter as a finish for shine and richness. But don&#8217;t be intimidated by the list. It&#8217;s super simple to make: everything in the pot, boil, simmer on low heat for 15 minutes stirring occasionally, and it&#8217;s ready. The liquid smoke (just \u00bd tsp!) brings the authentic smoker profile without needing a real smoker.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\udd69 The Saturday night BBQ dinner with friends that marks you for life<\/h3>\n<p>This is exactly the kind of recipe to have friends over on a Saturday summer night. Bones pointing down during oven cooking to prevent the brown sugar from burning, individual foil for each rack for even cooking, high heat BBQ finish with multiple bastings like crazy. Serve with my salade de pommes de terre au bacon, my ma\u00efs grill\u00e9s au bacon et cheddar, or my salade de chou \u00e0 la pancetta, and always keep a small bowl of fresh sauce as accompaniment for dipping. For real, these ribs will be gone in 24 hours because everyone will wake up at night to eat the leftovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBQ ribs with homemade classic smoked BBQ sauce with 16 ingredients.
