Sully's Ribs and Sauce

Updated May 14, 2024

Description

This one turned out great and was some of the best ribs I have done. The rub was on overnight and not heavy enough to not be able to see the meat and bone through the rub. In plastic wrap in the fridge for 18 hours. Longer might even be better.

I used St. Louis ribs with the silverskin stripped off. On the grill at 200/250 for 30 minutes on a side and then into the covered turkey roaster in the oven at 275 for 2 1/2 hours. I put two cups of apple juice in the bottom of the roaster and the ribs were really loose on the bones when done.

Before going in the oven I squirted squeeze Parkay and honey on one half and left the other half plain. Both were good, I think the half with the butter and honey was better.

I had the sauce on the side and didn't mop during cooking.
