Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks baby back ribs
- 4 tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Rib Rub
- ⅓ cup Hey Grill Hey Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce
- ½ cup whiskey
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup peach nectar
- 8 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
- Lift the corner of the membrane on the back of the ribs using a sharp knife, grab it with a paper towel, and remove it. Trim any excess fat if needed.
- Season both sides of the ribs with Hey Grill Hey Rib Rub.
- Place the ribs on the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for 3 hours.
- On a large work surface, lay out two large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place 2 tablespoons of butter on each sheet and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Remove ribs from the smoker and place them meat side down on the butter and brown sugar. Create a bowl with the foil sides and add peach nectar, whiskey, and remaining butter to the ribs.
- Seal the foil tightly around the ribs by bringing the long sides together and rolling them, then double fold the short ends to completely encase the ribs.
- Return the sealed ribs to the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for 2 more hours until they reach 195-200 degrees F.
- Remove the ribs from the foil, place them bone side down, and baste with Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce. Smoke for an additional 30-60 minutes until the sauce is set and the ribs are tender.
- Remove from the smoker, let rest for 15 minutes, then slice into individual ribs and serve with extra BBQ sauce.
Notes
For added flavor, let the ribs marinate in the rub overnight.
Ensure the smoker maintains a consistent temperature for the best results.
Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce based on personal preference. Or serve it on the side.
