Sweet Sriracha Pork Ribs

MAIN DISH

Sweet Sriracha Pork Ribs

Sweet Rib Rub
1/4 cup pourable brown sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
4 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Heat smoker or grill for indirect cooking at 275˚F. Add wood for smoking.
  2.  To make Sweet Rib Rub, combine all ingredients in bowl; mix well. Brush both sides of rack with sriracha sauce. Sprinkle Sweet Rib Rub generously on both sides, it will stick to the sriracha sauce.
  3. Smoke ribs, bone side down, for 2 hours. Use 1 cup apple juice in spray bottle to spritz ribs every 30 minutes.
  4. Place 1 sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil on counter (about 4 inches longer than ribs). Arrange butter slices on foil and drizzle with honey; place ribs, meaty side down on top of butter and honey. Seal foil around ribs and return to smoker for 3 hours 45 minutes until fork tender.
  5.  Mix remaining 1 cup apple juice with BBQ sauce in saucepan over medium heat until warm.
  6. Remove ribs from foil and return to smoker/grill, meaty side up. Brush them with sauce; cook 10 to 15 minutes. Let the ribs stand for 15 minutes before cutting to serve.
