Set up the rotisserie, put the spit on the grill and turn on the motor. Whisk the Red-eye barbecue sauce ingredients in a medium bowl until completely mixed.Test the rotisserie: (It’s less messy to rub the ribs after they’re on the spit).
Mix the rub ingredients in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the ribs. Rub the ribs and make the Red-eye barbecue sauce: Make sure the ribs are centered on the spit, then secure the end of the second slab with the other spit fork. Repeat with the second slab, pushing the ribs on tight. Slide the ribs down and secure them on the spit fork. (Picture a s-curve, or a snake, or see the picture below.) Bend the slab the other way, and run the skewer between the last two bones on the slab. Bend the slab in the other direction, into an “S” shape, and run the skewer between the bones. Bend the slab of ribs and run the skewer between the fifth or sixth bone. Take a slab and run the spit between the first and second bone. Work the membrane loose from one of the end bones with a butter knife, grab the membrane with a paper towel, and peel it off the ribs. Red-eye barbecue sauce (or substitute store-bought sauce)ġ tablespoon Dijon mustard (or substitute cheap yellow mustard)įirst, remove the membrane from the rib side of the slabs. That’s right, these ribs have a little wake-me-up in the sauce.Ģ fist sized chunks smoking wood (charcoal grill), or 2 cups soaked wood chips (gas grill)Ģ (3-pound) slabs baby back ribs (“extra meaty” if you can find them) And, just for fun, my homemade barbecue sauce has a secret ingredient: a shot of coffee. There’s a lot of sugar in barbecue sauce, and I don’t want it to burn in the heat of the grill…but want it to have at least some cooking time, to thicken it up into a glaze on the ribs. I save my homemade barbecue sauce for the last 15 minutes of cooking. (That’s right - the spinning of the spit bastes the ribs in pork fat while they cook.) They’re tender on the inside, with a crispy crust from the self-basting action of the rotisserie.
Why rotisserie ribs? It’s a lot of work to get them on the spit - you have to bend them back and forth, working the spit between the bones.
