Scott Hibb's Amazing Whisky Grilled Baby Back Ribs

SUBMITTED BY: Scott David Hibbard PHOTO BY: tsgma

"Man, when your guests bite into these at this Memorial Day cookout, they'll savor meat so tender and juicy that it slides right off the bone and gets you the respect you deserve! I have found that the major restaurant chains who make this awesome dish pre-cook their ribs SLOWLY before the quick grilling process."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

2 (2 pound) slabs baby back pork ribs
coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground red chile pepper
2 1/4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
2 teaspoons whiskey
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dark molasses
1/2 tablespoon ground red chile pepper

What to Drink?
	Zinfandel
	Classic Whiskey Sour
	Mock Tea Sangria

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 300 degree F (150 degrees C).
Cut each full rack of ribs in half, so that you have 4 half racks. Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tablespoon chili pepper over meat. Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil. Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in oil for 5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chili pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and set sauce aside.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
Remove the ribs from the oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Remove the racks from the foil, and place on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).

THESE WERE AMAZING!!!! I goofed up... I didn't have any whisky so I just omitted that and I found out at the last second that my sister stole my can of tomato paste so I used ketchup instead and since the ketchup was not as thick as the paste would of been I used alittle less water than the recipe called for. I also used a real onion and one garlic clove since I had it on hand. Other than that everything else I did exactly to the recipe. I also cooked the sauce alittle longer since it started out watery but I'm telling you it turned out PERFECT! These were SOOOOO good! And I was surprised at how easy these were to make... the prep was not that hard or that long, than I just let everything cook for a few hours while I cleaned. I gave it all to hubby when it was time to grill and he basickly just grilled them for 10 mins (make sure you save som,e of the sause and put it on as you take the ribs off the grill so theya re super sticky and dripping w/ sauce! This was the first time I've ever made ribs and they were so good that my nephews (who live upstairs and already ate dinner) came down from the scent and ate up all the leftovers. My son demanded that I make this at least once a month. I'm DEFINATLY making these again! ****UPDATE**** I make this every few weeks now. I tried it exactly how it's written and it's also incredible that way but I don't normally have whisky on hand and I always have tons of ketchup so I basicly stick to the way I made it the first time. These are to
