World's Best Ribs

"This recipe is quite simple and the results are incredible. I usually double the rub recipe and store it in a jar for next time. If you've never tried ribs before, try this recipe. This recipe can be made on the grill or in the oven."

  1. One addition I would make is to remember to pull the thin white outter membrane off the back side of the ribs. My family loved these. I did the baked method and finished off on the grill.
     
  2. Made these last night on the grill..delicious! I did leave out the extra tablespoon of salt, and used Sweet Baby Ray's, but other than that followed the recipe.
     
  3. Yeah...pretty sure these aren't the "World's Best." Quite good, but definitely not the best I've ever had.
     
  4. I've made several batches of this. By batches, I mean I make up about a cup of Emeril's, and then add the the rest of the ingredients. Great on chicken meatloaf, etc. Try adding some rosemary and dry mustard, Double or triple the cayenne (no brainer :)
     
  5. I did this, followed the recipe to the letter, except omitted the black pepper (threw in some more cayenne). .I had made a double batch of dry rub, had some huge slabs. Only cooked one first day. Good start. Too much cumin. Now. I had made the Emeril's myself. Did a double on that too. Threw the rest of the Emeril's into the mix I had left over from the first try at this recipe, and I am here to tell you, Utopia is just an oven away. Just omit the extra black pepper, quadruple the Emeril's. DELICIOUS.
