(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

Too much BBQ?... Never! It's Springtime which means it's Barbecue time! It's all about the sauce, rubbing, resting and braising.  

Today we're gonna show you how to make a rack of the smoky goodness the easy way. Braised Baby Back Ribs, a BBQ cocktail and some smoking' tunes!

Gimme some cornbread with some extra sauce on the side.

Crank up that music... The Pots Are On!

The Plate... 

Braised Baby Back Ribs

You know you want it, but you just don't want to go to all the hassle of firing up the grill and basting and waiting and guessing if they're going to come out right. Right? 

We chose Baby Back ribs because they are the most tender and don't take as much time to cook. 

We've taken the guess work out and all you have to do is turn on the oven. Of course there is a little prep, rubbing and resting that's gotta happen first. Don't worry, it's worth it!

What you need...   

2 racks of baby back ribs

Dry rub- 

8 tbsp brown sugar

3 tbsp Kosher salt

1 tbsp Chili powder

1 tsp each- black pepper, cayenne, smoked paprika, old bay, dried thyme and onion powder

Braising liquid-

1 cup white wine

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp honey 

2 cloves garlic / crushed

some foil

Mix all dry ingredients together then rub all over the ribs.

Wrap in foil around the ribs with a fold down the middle, then fold up the ends so you can open them later to add braising liquid.

Put ribs in fridge for at least 2 hours... overnight would be better. 

Preheat oven to 225 degrees.

Mix braising liquid together and microwave for 1 minute to mix all ingredients.

Open one side of foil and pour in braising liquid to the ribs. 

Place the ribs on pan in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 hours. 

After the ribs are done. Take them out of the oven and lay across a pan to drain the braising liquid. 

Leave ribs in foil and set aside.

You want to drain all of the liquid into a pan then turn on high heat for 5 minutes. 

Reduce the the liquid down to a thick sauce. 

Open foil and brush the ribs with a thin layer of the sauce.

Place under the broiler for 1 minute. 

Cut ribs about 2 per serving and cover with extra sauce. 

Now your ready to chow down!
