Oven BBQ Whiskey Ribs
- 1 rack ribs (or sm. pork tenderloin)
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup whiskey
- 1 tbsp. liquid smoke
- Optional - your favorite rub
- Optional - your favorite bbq sauce
- 1 - Take ribs and split into half or 1/3 rack portions for easy handling and serving 2 - If present, remove the membrane on the back side of the ribs.
- 3 - Turn on your broiler with the top rack about 6 - 8 inches from the top burner.
- 4 - Rub the ribs with your favorite spice mixture.
- If you don't have one, simply try sprinkling with garlic salt and a little chili powder.
- For sweeter ribs you can add a little brown sugar, but I feel sweetness should come from the sauce.
- 5 - Broil the ribs on both sides until brown, but not burned.
- 6 - Remove ribs from oven.
- Set the oven back to 350 degrees, and if it is safe to do so, lower the rack to the middle of the oven.
- 7 - Lay each section of ribs onto its own piece of aluminum foil.
- You will need to fold this up to make a pouch.
- Leave a small section unsealed to pour in the liquid ingredients.
- 8 - Mix the whiskey, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, and dilute with water to make about 1C of liquid.
- 9 - Pour the liquid into each pouch, making sure there arent any major leaks.
- 10 - Bake for 1.5-2 hours.
- Ribs will be juicy and tender after an hour and a half, and should be falling off the bone in 2 hours.
- 11 - Carefully, using tongs and oven mitts, remove the ribs from the oven and liberate from their foil prisons.
- Turn the broiler back on, and return ribs to the oven.
- 12 - Broil long enough to dry the outside of the ribs without losing too much moisture from the inside.
- This should only be a couple minutes.
- Apply sauce, broil until it has set, flip, and sauce the other side.
- 13 - Enjoy.
