Mastering Party Ribs: The Secret to Fall-Off-The-Bone Perfection

Send John & Dolores a Text Message.

We tackle two transformative BBQ techniques that changed our approach to outdoor cooking: party ribs and perfectly seasoned chicken legs. Both dishes surprised us with their ease of preparation and exceptional results.

• Party ribs (cut between bones before cooking) proved superior to traditional full slabs, creating more surface area for flavor
• The key to perfect party ribs is a two-stage process: smoke first, then steam in a covered pan with sauce
• A simple seasoning mix with cornstarch transformed chicken legs into a dish even dark-meat skeptics loved
• Adding a hint of red pepper flakes to BBQ enhances flavor without making it spicy
• Timing is critical when applying sugar-based sauces – add them toward the end of cooking to prevent burning
• Weber Smoky Mountain provides excellent smoke flavor compared to pellet grills
• Upcoming cooking projects include hash brown-coated stuffed chicken breast and fall desserts in the smoker
