- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the baby back ribs in a large resealable bag or container, pour the marinade over the ribs, and ensure the ribs are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the grill for indirect cooking at 250°F (120°C).
- Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on the grill, away from direct heat. Close the lid and let the ribs slow cook for about 3 hours, turning occasionally.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with additional barbecue sauce for extra flavor.
- Once the ribs are tender and cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
