Spicy Baby Back Ribs

  4.6 – 18 reviews  • Chile Peppers
Level: Easy
Total: 12 hr 15 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 15 to 20 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cans pop, such as Dr. Pepper
  2. 2 cups barbecue sauce
  3. 2 cups brown sugar
  4. Two 5-ounce cans chipotle peppers in adobo
  5. 2/3 cup brown mustard
  6. 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  7. 6 cloves garlic, minced
  8. 6 racks pork baby back ribs

Instructions

  1. To prepare the marinade, add the pop, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, chipotles, mustard, vinegar and garlic to a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until reduced and thick, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Divide into 2 containers and refrigerate one container for later.
  2. Brush the remaining container of the marinade all over the ribs on both sides. Wrap each strip of ribs individually in foil and refrigerate for 8 hours to marinate.
  3. When you’re ready to cook the ribs, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  4. Place the ribs, still covered in foil, onto baking sheets and cook for 2 hours. Increase the temperature to 300 degrees F. Open the foil packages and use the other container of marinade to brush another generous layer all over the ribs. Return the ribs to the oven with their foil packages still open and continue cooking for another 30 to 40 minutes, brushing on another layer of marinade as they cook.
  5. Remove the ribs when they’re fork-tender (keep cooking until they are). Slice and serve!

So so so delicious
Brianna Gamble
I think this recipe is great! My ribs came
out flavorful, tender, juicy. I only used half the peppers because my family doesn’t like heat. But delicious all the same! Made this recipe 3x now

Delicious! Slow cooked spicy sweet goodness. I cut the peppers in half.
Great with a creamy side. And grilled veggies.

So I can only rate the cooking method that Ree used for this recipe. I did not use *any* of the ingredients because I thought my husband would cook the pork ribs I already prepared for him to grill. He got home late, so I had to improvise and used this recipe’s cooking method. It was fantastic! All I did was apply a pork rub, wrapped 2 – 3 ribs in foil, first covering them with store bought BBQ sauce. Baked them for 2 hours at 275 degrees, added more sauce after 2 hours, increased the heat to 300 for another 20 minutes. They were so tender and tasty! My husband is a die-hard griller and had very little faith, but he was impressed. Thanks Ree for the great cooking method! You rock as usual. ; -)

This would not be edible with even one can if chipotles in adobo sauce let alone two!
