Ingredients
  

Barbecue Ribs

  • 1  rack St Louis Style Ribs or Back Ribs
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

BBQ Sauce for Ribs

  • 2 cups barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 2 tablespoons   honey
  • ½ teaspoon   ground chipotle pepper
  • ¾ cup   balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Gently use a sharp knife to cut the membrane on a rib bone and get it to lift a little. Then use a clean, dry paper towel to tear it and remove from the back of the rack of ribs.
  • Heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium (about 300 degrees F).
  • Sprinkle both sides of the ribs with brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Gently rub in with your fingers.
  • Grill for about 1 ½ to 2 hours over indirect heat until ribs are tender. Use tongs to turn the ribs about every 20 minutes or so.
  • In a large bowl, combine barbecue sauce, ground chipotle, balsamic vinegar, and honey.
  • Baste with honey balsamic chipotle barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes or so and cook over direct heat, on low to medium. Carefully watch the ribs so they do not burn. Use tongs to turn the ribs frequently and baste with additional sauce as they finish cooking.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy with grilled corn and other seasonal vegetables.
