I did a rack of St. Louis ribs earlier this week. Typical 3-2-1, BBQ rub, foil with some liquid and more rub or brown sugar, baste with Rib Candy the last 15 minutes.
We've all done some variant of this a million and a half times.
Any suggestions on something a bit unorthodox? Of course my ribs taste great, but I'm going to cook the other rack this weekend, and I'd like to have some fun with it.
OK.. I would take other people's suggestions cuz I've never done anything totally out of the ordinary. But I was in the crowd of no sauce only rub enjoy the meat until I wanted to try something different.
I'm not exactly sure what "rib candy" is.. I'm assuming its a type of sauce.. well This may be almost identical to your method and rib candy but I'll explain it.
I'll never cook baby backs a different way again. if I did spares of STL style I like just the rub on those.
I did the foil with butter (real butter), brown sugar, and honey.. Once they started to get tender.. I would pull them off throw them back on the smoker.. I would then create a sauce with the juice in the foil pack and any kind of original/regular BBQ sauce.. You get a nice BBQ twang with the sweetness of the Rib juice. Like I said maybe rib candy is identical to this method.. But I felt the Juice + BBQ sauce mixture as a glaze was worth mentioning
