Amazing (and simple) Grilled Baby Back Ribs
By Foodiewife, A Feast for the Eyes
It almost seems unnecessary to post a recipe for these luscious ribs
- Equipment needed (using a Weber):
- 2 racks of pork ribs (when possible we buy ours at Whole Foods, on sale. Otherwise if you have a Costco, they have good prices on ribs)
- Rub seasoning for pork (We use McCormick Schilling Grill Mates Pork Rub)
- BBQ sauce of your choice (optional)
- briquettes
- woods chips, soaked in water for at least an hour (we use cherry or oak)
- NOTE: you could do these over a gas grill (and we have one) but we've never personally tried this technique. That's why we have a Weber for slow grilling.

- HERBS:
- 2 pounds chicken wings (or a combo of drumsticks and or thighs)
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 onion (just cut into quarters and don't worry about peeling)
- 2 carrots (no need to peel)
- 2 cloves garlic (unpeeled)
- 2 teaspoons whole peppercorns (I put mine into a tea "ball" to easily remove)
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- Small bunch of fresh parsley (about 1 dozen stalks)
- 2 bay leaves
- NOTE: I don't add salt to my chicken broth until I actually use it. That way, I can control the seasoning if I use it within a recipe.
