Description

If you're in the mood for some juicy, tender ribs with a punch of flavor, then brining your ribs is the way to go. Brining is an easy and effective way to infuse your meat with moisture and flavor. The process involves soaking your ribs in a saltwater solution, along with additional seasonings of your choice, for several hours before cooking. This helps to break down the meat's connective tissues, resulting in ribs that are more tender and flavorful.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is relatively short, but the brining process does take several hours. Plan to start the brining process at least 6 hours before you plan to cook your ribs. The actual prep time for this recipe is around 20 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is around 2-3 hours, depending on the size and thickness of your ribs.

Ingredients

  • 2 racks of baby back ribs (about 4 pounds total)
  • 1 cup kosher salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Water

Equipment

  • A large bowl or container
  • A baking sheet or roasting pan
  • Foil
  • A grill or oven

Method

  1. In a large bowl or container, mix together the kosher salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Add enough water to the bowl to fully submerge the ribs.
  3. Place the ribs in the brine, making sure they are fully submerged.
  4. Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  5. When you're ready to cook the ribs, preheat your grill or oven to 300°F.
  6. Remove the ribs from the brine and rinse them off with cold water.
  7. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  8. Cover the ribs with foil and cook them for 2-3 hours, or until they are tender and cooked through.
  9. If you're using a grill, you can also finish the ribs by basting them with your favorite BBQ sauce and grilling them for a few minutes on each side to caramelize the sauce.
  10. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Brining your ribs is a great way to infuse them with flavor, but be careful not to overdo it on the salt. If you're concerned about the saltiness, you can rinse the ribs off with cold water after removing them from the brine.
