Kansas City Style BBQ Ribs

Step by stepInstructions

1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
2. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; rub all over the ribs. Rest 30 minutes.
3. Set up a smoker (or grill) at 225°F with wood chunks. Smoke the ribs 3 hours, spritzing with apple juice every 45 minutes.
4. Simmer all the sauce ingredients together 15 minutes.
5. Brush the ribs with sauce and cook 1 hour more, saucing every 20 minutes, until the meat pulls back from the bone and bends easily. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
