How to Make Memphis Hogaholics Award Winning Ribs
- **Dry Rub:** In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt.
- **Basting Sauce (Prepare in Advance):** In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- **Add Flavor Boost:** Stir in 2 tbsp butter and ¼ cup root beer to the basting sauce. Simmer for another 15 minutes.
- **Wet Sauce (Prepare in Advance):** In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp liquid smoke, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder. Simmer for 1 hour.
- **Let the Sauces Rest:** Let both the basting and wet sauces cool completely and stand for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Refrigerate if making ahead.
- **Prep the Ribs:** Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Generously rub the dry rub onto both sides of the ribs.
- **Indirect Grilling:** Prepare your grill for indirect grilling (if using charcoal, set coals to one side; if using gas, turn off one burner).
- **Initial Cook:** Place ribs bone-side down on the cooler side of the grill. Cook for 1.5 - 2 hours, maintaining a low temperature (around 250°F), without turning.
- **Basting and Finishing:** Apply basting sauce generously to the ribs. Continue to cook for another 3.5 - 4.5 hours, basting every 45 minutes to an hour.
- **Final Touches:** For the last 30 minutes, you can baste with the wet sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
- **Rest and Serve:** Remove ribs from grill, let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
