Kansas City Style Pork Back Ribs

Kansas City Style Pork Back Ribs are a delight. A great recipe for sweet and spicy ribs that are tangy and grilled to perfection.

Ingredients:

• 3 slabs of pork back ribs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup paprika
• 3 tablespoons seasoned salt
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon celery salt

Directions:

1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, mix together sugar, paprika, seasoned salt, chili powder, black pepper, celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, ground sage and dry mustard. Place the lid on the jar and shake jar to combine spices thoroughly. Set rub aside.
2. In small saucepan over low heat, stir together honey and barbecue sauce. Heat through, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Set barbecue glaze aside and keep warm or at room temperature before using. (If storing for more than 2 hours, cover and refrigerate. Reheat before using).
3. Pat ribs dry with paper towels and season with spice rub, using appx. 4-6 tablespoons for each slab. Grill over indirect heat in a covered grill or smoker for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Turn ribs once during cooking, about halfway through grilling. Ribs are done when the meat is very tender (insert a knife between ribs to check, they should pull apart fairly easily.) About 20 minutes before ribs are done, baste heavily with barbecue glaze. If you like your ribs extra sticky, baste again 10 minutes before removing from the grill.
