I have found a recipe for 3-2-1 best ribs ever. If you live in the south part of the United States, you are familiar with barbecue (BBQ). Therefore, if you are attending a family get-together, reunion, picnic, or a wedding BBQ may be the main entree. Whatever the event BBQ is a great addition to feed a lot of hungry guests. In conclusion, on your next event try the following recipe, which is a crowd pleaser.
PERFECT FALL OFF THE BONE RIBS (3-2-1)
3 2 1 ribs are a fool proof way to get fall off the bone tender ribs. The 3 2 1 rib method is based on smoking ribs at a certain temperature for 3 hours, wrapping with liquid for 2 hours, and saucing for the final 1 hour.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Begin by removing the membrane on the back of the ribs
- Liberally season both sides of the ribs using the sweet rub, starting with the bone side.
- Prepare your smoker for indirect smoking. The target temperature is between 180-200 with thin blue smoke. Place the seasoned ribs on the smoker and close the lid. Leave them to smoke for 3 hours.
- Tear off a large piece of aluminum foil and place it on a large working surface. Transfer the ribs to the foil bone side up so the bones don’t tear through the foil. Sprinkle with the brown sugar, top with the butter cut into small pads, and then pour over the apple cider.
- Tightly crimp the foil together to create an airtight seal. Return to the grill and increase your cooking temperature to as close to 225 degrees as you can get it. Let the ribs braise for 2 hours in the foil.
- Carefully remove the ribs from the grill and place them on a large working surface. Open the foil package (be careful of hot steam) and use tongs to remove the ribs and place them back on the grill, bone side down. Discard the foil and excess cooking liquid,
- Brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce, close the lid of your grill and cook at 225 degrees for an additional hour until the ribs are done to your desired tenderness and the sauce is sticky and set.
My favorite sauce is Redneck Lipstick BBQ Sauce. Check out the video below:

Wine with BBQ
I enjoy a nice glass of white wine with my BBQ. Oh, who am I kidding I enjoy a glass or two? I always have my favorite wine in stock because I get my wine delivered to my door each month. Yes, I did say delivered to my door.
You can have your favorite wine(s) delivered to your door too.
