Method
Preparation of Your Ribs
- Pre heat your oven to 140 deg C
- Place a piece off grease proof paper on the base of an oven proof deep dish. Make sure its large enough to fit your side of ribs in.
- On the back of the ribs there is a thin membrane, you need to carefully peal this off. Starting on one side with a sharp knife get under the membrane to lift it, then with a good grip pull it away from the back of the ribs.
- Take all of the dry spice rub ingredients and mix them together. Generously cover your ribs with the dry spice mix and place the ribs into your oven dish.
- Cover the ribs with another piece of grease proof paper and then cover with tin foil, sealing the sides, creating a good seal.
- Place into the oven and cook for two hours.
Preparing the Chipotle BBQ Sauce
- In a pot add the cider vinegar, tomato ketchup, water, chipotle chillis, molasses, brown sugar, mustard powder, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and cook until it thickens, this will take around 30 minutes. Keep giving it a stir so it does not stick to the base of the pan.
Finishing Your Ribs
- Remove your ribs from the oven and remove the foil. They should now be tender, not falling apart yet but looking amazing.
- Turn the oven up to 190 deg C. Take your chipotle bbq sauce and coat over your ribs, making sure you cover the underside as well.
- Place your ribs back into your heated oven uncovered, after 20 minutes carefully turn you ribs over and allow the underside to color as well.
- You want your ribs to have a good char and caramelization to them, remember this means flavour . When you are happy with the color of your ribs, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Now you can serve your ribs as they are or cut them into one or two rib pieces.
- Serve with home made coleslaw, mac and cheese, corn on the cob and a few cold beers.
- Finger licking goodness awaits, enjoy!
