These Cowboy Ribs might just become your new favorite way to make baby back ribs. A bit of Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub, honey, and brown sugar make for fall-off-the-bone sweet and sticky ribs that are deliciously messy.

Ingredients

  • Baby Back Ribs
  • Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Honey
  • Brown Sugar

Directions

  • Set smoker to 225°F.
  • Prep the ribs by removing the membrane. Using the tip of a knife, carefully lift the membrane from 1 edge of the ribs. Using a paper towel, grasp the membrane and pull it all off in one go.
  • Sprinkle the Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub all over the ribs, making sure to fully coat them.
  • Place the ribs on the smoker’s middle rack to cook for 2 hours.
  • Lay a sheet of aluminum foil longer than the length of the ribs on a flat surface. On the foil, drizzle on honey, then top with brown sugar.
  • Remove the ribs from the smoker and place them on top of the foil with bones facing up.
  • Wrap tightly in foil and place back in smoker for another 2 hours.
  • Remove the ribs from the smoker, wrap towels around the covered ribs, and place in a cooler to rest for 1 hour.
  • After resting, remove the towels and foil, cut the ribs, and enjoy!
