2 teaspoons garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
2 tablespoons molasses

Riblet (Rib) Preparation:
-
For rib tips ("riblets") and
full racks, first season ribs with salt, pepper and garlic to taste.
-
Sear the ribs on the grill/broiler until both sides are
mahogany in color and the meat has begun to pull away from the bone (155
degrees F internal temperature).
-
Place ribs on rack in deep
pan/roaster. Cover bottom of pan with mixture of water and liquid smoke
flavoring (4:1 ratio of water to liquid smoke) without mixture touching
the ribs (it will make them bitter).
-
Seal tightly with two
layers of foil wrap to cover. Slow cook in 275 degree F oven until meat
is tender.
-
Time varies with how many ribs are being cooked, pan
used and your oven temperature. Plan on anywhere from two to five hours,
but check to be sure.
-
The slower the better for this process.
Just make sure an internal food temperature of 155 degrees F is
maintained.
-
(To moderate cooking for small amounts of ribs, try
covering ribs with chopped onions, peppers and tomatoes. This also keeps
them moist and adds a nice flavor).
-
When ribs are fully cooked
and tender, remove from oven and finish off on grill/broiler until
marrow in the bone tips "sizzles."
-
Brush with Honey Barbecue
Sauce just before removing for service.
-
Serve with your favorite
side dishes.
-
Applebee's serves their ribs with French fries,
coleslaw and their special honey barbecue baked beans.
