Spicy Chipotle Glazed Smoked BBQ Ribs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 racks of pork ribs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 2 tablespoons onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon black pepper to create a dry rub.
- Rub the dry rub all over the racks of pork ribs, covering them completely. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- While the ribs are resting, preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using hickory or apple wood chips for smoke flavor.
- Place the ribs in the smoker and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and has reached an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup honey, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and 1/4 cup water. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.
- During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the chipotle glaze onto the ribs every 10 minutes, allowing it to caramelize and create a sticky, spicy coating.
- Once the ribs are done, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your spicy chipotle glazed smoked BBQ ribs!
