Try These Barbecued Ribs Brined In Bourbon!

By Rocco 'Boss Hog' Loosbrock

People ask me several times a week if there is a best way or if I have a favorite way to cook our gourmet ribs.

I've decided to start sharing some of my favorite recipes for the ribs as well as a lot of the other premium quality gourmet food and wine that we proudly present our valued and appreciated club members and customers.

Here's a delightfully delicious recipe that I think you are going to absolutely LOVE!

Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Ingredients:

Brine

-2 gallons water
-4 oz bourbon
-¼ cup kosher salt
-¼ cup sugar
-1 Tablespoon pickling spices
-½ teaspoon liquid smoke

BBQ Sauce

-1 14 oz bottle of ketchup
-¼ cup molasses
-¼ cup brown sugar
-1 Tablespoon garlic powder
-1 Tablespoon onion powder
-1 Tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce
-Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Go ahead and mix all of the ingredients for the Barbecue Sauce together and refrigerator until it is needed.

Then, in a deep pan, mix together the brine ingredients, stirring continuously until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.

You can now put the Baby Back Ribs into the mixture and allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 hours.

Now remove the ribs from the brine solution and be sure to pat them dry.

Place ribs on a medium-low heat grill and let them grill for about 45 minutes, turning them every 10 minutes or so, until tender.

Now brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce and grill then for another 15 minutes or so, turning them every 3 or 4 minutes.

Enjoy!
