๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

๐ŸŽฏ Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    Preheat smoker to 225ยฐF (110ยฐC) or use a charcoal grill with wood chips. If using a gas grill, set up for indirect heat.

    ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 225ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Prepare your grill or smoker for low and slow cooking.
  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together BBQ rub, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.

    โฑ๏ธ 3 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Use a fork to combine spices until well mixed.
  3. 3

    Apply the dry rub evenly to both racks of ribs, making sure to coat all surfaces.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Use your hands to massage the rub into the meat.
  4. 4

    Place the ribs in the smoker or grill, bone side down. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the meat starts to pull away from the bone.

    โฑ๏ธ 240 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 225ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Check the ribs every hour to ensure the heat is even and the meat is not drying out.
  5. 5

    After 4-5 hours, remove the ribs from the heat and brush with BBQ sauce. Return the ribs to the heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

    โฑ๏ธ 15 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 225ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160ยฐF (71ยฐC).
  6. 6

    Remove the ribs from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Let the ribs rest to allow the juices to redistribute, making them tender and fall-off-the-bone.
  7. 7

    For the finishing sauce, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, bourbon whiskey (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and adjust seasoning as needed.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Taste and adjust the sauce to your liking, adding more sweetness, acidity, or spice as needed.
  8. 8

    Brush the finishing sauce over the ribs during the last 10 minutes of cooking, or serve on the side for dipping.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 225ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: The finishing sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the ribs, balancing out the richness of the meat.
