Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks baby back ribs
- 4 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Rib Rub
- ⅓ cup Hey Grill Hey Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce
- ½ cup whiskey
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup peach nectar
- 8 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your preferred smoker to 225 degrees F. Prep the ribs while the smoker heats up.
- Use a sharp knife to lift up the corner of the membrane on the back of the ribs. Use a paper towel to grip the membrane and pull it off gently. Trim any excess fat if needed.
- Season the baby back ribs on both sides with Hey Grill Hey Rib Rub or your favorite rub.
- Place the ribs in the smoker, close the lid, and smoke them for 3 hours.
- Prepare two large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Put 2 Tablespoons of butter on each sheet and sprinkle each with 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Remove the ribs from the smoker and place them meat side down onto the butter and sugar. Fold the sides of the foil to make a bowl and pour peach nectar, whiskey, and remaining butter over the ribs.
- Seal the foil tightly around the ribs by folding the long sides together and rolling until tight. Fold the short ends to completely seal the ribs in foil.
- Return the foiled ribs to the smoker, close the lid, and continue smoking for an additional 2 hours, until the ribs reach 195-200 degrees F.
- After removing the ribs from the foil, place them back on the smoker, bone side down, and baste with Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce. Smoke for 30-60 minutes until the sauce sets and the ribs are tender.
- Allow the ribs to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with extra sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding apple juice or cider in the foiling liquid.
Make sure to let the ribs rest to retain moisture before slicing.
Experiment with different rubs for varied taste.
