Chilis House Vs Original Ribs Recipes

CHILI'S BABY BACK RIBS - COPYCAT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Cut the rib slabs in half, leaving 6 to 8 ribs per section. In a large roasting pan, arrange the ribs evenly, then add the water. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil to prevent steam from escaping. Bake for 3 hours.
• About 2 hours into the baking time, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Prepare the coals in a barbecue. Remove the ribs from the roasting pan. Discard the water.
• Cover the ribs with the sauce, saving about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce for later use at the table. Grill the ribs on the barbecue for about 5 minutes per side, or until slightly charred.
• Serve with the remaining sauce and lots of paper towels or moist towelettes.
• ***ALTERNATE SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: Place the ribs in a slow cooker, pouring the sauce over. Let cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender.

Steps:

• Preheat pellet smoker to 225 degrees fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, salt, pepper, minced onion, garlic powder, cayenne, and paprika. Whisk together.
• Place your ribs, with the bottom facing up, on your baking sheet. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
• Drizzle a bit of vegetable oil (around 2 tablespoons, but you don't have to be exact) on the back of the ribs and rub it all over.
• Sprinkle about ⅙ of the spice mixture on the back of each rack of ribs and rub it in thoroughly.
• Flip the ribs and repeat the oil and spice process, just divide the remaining seasoning mixture between the two racks
• Place your 8x8 pan of water to the back of your smoker and then place your racks of ribs in the smoker.
• Cook for 3 hours at 225 degrees, spraying every half an hour with the apple cider vinegar. Spray them just enough to make them shiny, you don't have to be exact here.
• Place foil on your baking sheet, making sure that the foil is about 5 inches longer than the ribs on each side.
• Place your ribs on the foil, generously squirt with apple cider vinegar, seal it tightly, and continue to bake at 225 degrees for 2 more hours.
• Remove the ribs from the foil, smother with BBQ sauce, and place them back in the smoker, without the foil, and smoke for 1 more hour. Enjoy!
• Add all the wet ingredients to a medium boiling pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until smooth. You can also use a normal blender if you have one large enough, or do it in batches.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and simmer for 30-45 minutes. The longer you simmer, the thicker it will get.
