CHIPOTLE-HONEY BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• Trim the excess fat off the ribs and place them on a large piece of foil.
• Mix together the spices for the chipotle rub and rub half onto the top of meat, flip and repeat on the other side with the remaining rub. Let sit for 20-30 minutes.
• While the ribs are sitting, whisk together all of the ingredients for the honey barbecue sauce in a medium bowl. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until needed.
• Mix together the apple cider vinegar and water and set aside.
• Turn only one side of your grill on. You can either lay the ribs directly on the grill rack or on top of the foil, but be sure to place them to the side of the grill without the flame.
• Close the lid of the grill and cook for 30 minutes, maintaining a temperature of 350°F. Adjust the heat as needed by lowering the burner rather than opening the grill.
• After the 30 minutes is up, put the ribs back onto the foil and fold the sides up to prevent any liquid from running off.
• Pour the apple cider vinegar mixture over the ribs and wrap tightly in the foil. Return the ribs to the same area of the grill and cook at 375°F for another 30 minutes.
• Check the ribs after 30 minutes. If they still appear to be under-cooked, return them to the grill for another 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through.
• Once the ribs are cooked through, lower the heat so the temperature stays around 250°F.
• Open the foil and baste the top half of the ribs with some of the honey barbecue sauce. Close the grill lid.
• After 5 minutes, flip the ribs out and repeat the process on the other side. Continue flipping the ribs and basting every 5 minutes for a total of 30 minutes.
• After the last 5 minute cooking cycle, remove the ribs from the grill. Slice and serve.

HONEY-CHIPOTLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine honey, ketchup, ginger, and 5 chipotles with adobo sauce. Blend until smooth. Taste and add remaining chipotles, or more honey, if desired. If sauce is too thick, thin with a little water or apple juice. Pour half of the sauce over the pork and reserve the rest. Marinate for at least 4 and up to 24 hours.
• Prepare a grill or grill pan. Grill the pork ribs until cooked to desired doneness. A little charring on the pork is desired. Remove pork from heat and slather with remaining sauce.

CHIPOTLE BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil.
• Place the ribs on the prepared baking pan meat-side up. Sprinkle them with the paprika, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Rub the spices all over the ribs.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the meat is very tender and can easily be pulled off the bone, about 2 hours.
• For the barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until very soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the ketchup, orange juice, Worcestershire, chipotles and adobo and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to keep at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Alternately, an immersion blender can be used in the pot.
• Finish the ribs: Preheat the grill to medium-high (or set the oven to broil).
• Reserve about a cup of the barbecue sauce for serving alongside the ribs. Brush a small amount of the remaining sauce on the bone side of the ribs and a generous amount on the meaty side.
• Grill the ribs, meaty-side up, until the underside is lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn the ribs over and grill until the meaty side is charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes (if using the oven, simply broil for 3 to 5 minutes). Transfer to a cutting board and cut each rack in half. Serve immediately with the reserved sauce on the side.

CHIPOTLE AND HONEY GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Place half the ribs in single layer on large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Mix mustard, pepper and honey; rub half evenly onto both sides of ribs. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal packet. Repeat to make second packet. Place packets on baking sheet and bake 2 hours or until ribs are done.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove ribs from foil; discard foil. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce; grill 2 to 3 min. on each side or until lightly charred, turning occasionally. Serve with lime halves.

HONEY-CHIPOTLE GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine chipotles, 1/4 cup honey, mustard powder, 3 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper.
• Place a large double layer of foil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place ribs on top and rub with chipotle mixture. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and bake on sheet until meat is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Heat grill to medium-high; clean and lightly oil hot grates. Remove ribs from foil, letting excess liquid drip off. Brush ribs with 1/4 cup honey and grill until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut between bones to separate ribs and serve with lemon wedges.
