Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork ribs
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup low-sugar BBQ sauce
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Begin by removing the membrane on the back of the ribs. Insert a knife under the membrane and gently peel it off for better flavor penetration.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs, ensuring that they are well-coated.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 300°F (150°C). Meanwhile, prepare the BBQ sauce.
Step 5
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the low-sugar BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir it occasionally until fully combined and warm.
Step 6
Place the ribs on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for about 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes.
Step 7
During the last 30 minutes of grilling, occasionally baste the ribs with the prepared BBQ sauce using a brush.
Step 8
Check the ribs frequently to ensure they are not burning. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Once cooked and tender, remove the ribs from the grill and allow them to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Cut into serving portions and enjoy your low-fat, delicious BBQ ribs!
