Grilled Ribs Recipe (ribs on the grill)

  • Author: Chef Mia

Description

The most juicy & tender Grilled Ribs (ribs on the grill) that are perfect for a backyard cookout or family gathering!


Ingredients

Scale
  • cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • pinch kosher salt & ground black pepper
  • 2 racks baby back ribs (about 34 pounds each)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 ½ tablespoons lemon pepper
  • 1 ¼ tablespoons kosher salt (more if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup bbq sauce (homemade bbq sauce or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Make Marinade: Combine Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
  2. Prep Ribs + Marinate: Pat 2 racks baby back ribs dry with clean paper towel. Place ribs, meat side down, on a baking sheet. Using a small knife, gently lift off the corner of the membrane (the layer of thin connective tissue) and gently pull to remove. Place in 9×13 pan and pour marinade over top – rub marinade all over ensuring it covers every nook and cranny. Cover and let marinate 30-60 minutes.
  3. Prep Grill: Ensure grill grates are clean and well-greased. Preheat grill temperature to 500.
  4. Make Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine 2 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika, 2 ½ tablespoons lemon pepper, 1 ¼ tablespoons kosher salt, 1 tablespoon smoked garlic powder, ½ tablespoon onion powder, ½ tablespoon ground black pepper and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (if using).
  5. Season Ribs: Remove ribs from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Place on a baking sheet and cover ribs in the dry rub ensuring every nook and cranny is covered.
  6. Grill Ribs: Place both racks of ribs meat-side down over the middle burner. Drop heat down to 300. (I usually turn off the middle burner and leave the outer two on and as low as they can go). Let ribs cook for 30 minutes then flip. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches between 190-203 (use a meat thermometer). (190 will be more firm and at 203 the meat will fall off the bone easier).
  7. BBQ Sauce: When ribs are about 5 degrees away from being done, brush the tops with a generous amount of your favorite bbq sauce and close the lid until they are done cooking.
  8. Rest Ribs: Remove from grill and place on a baking sheet. Cover with foil and let sit 30-60 minutes.
  9. Serve: Uncover the foil and serve!

EXTRA Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad

  • Author: Chef Mia

Description

Crispy chicken, crunchy parmesan croutons and a mouthwatering homemade dressing – this chicken caesar salad has it all!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup / 240g full fat Mayo
  • 1/3 cup / 30g freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 Anchovy Fillets
  • 2 tbsp Milk ((preferably whole milk))
  • 1 Lemon, (juice only)
  • 1 tsp EACH: Dijon Mustard, Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 small clove of Garlic
  • 1/4 tsp EACH: Salt, Black Pepper ((or to taste))
  • 2x 7-9oz/200-250g Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup / 65g Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup / 40g Flour
  • 2 Eggs, (beaten)
  • 1 tsp EACH: Salt, Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 cup / 240ml Vegetable Oil, (for frying)
  • 2 large heads of Romaine Lettuce, (chopped (approx 8oz/220g EACH))
  • 6 slices of Bacon, (cooked, cooled & diced)
  • 4oz / 120g Ciabatta ((preferably day old))
  • 1/2 cup / 40g freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt, Garlic Powder & Black Pepper ((for croutons))

Instructions

  1. Dressing: In a food processor blitz the dressing ingredients until smooth.
  2. Prep Croutons: Dice bread into small bite-sized pieces. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 pinches of garlic powder & black pepper and 1 pinch of salt.
  3. Bake Croutons: Add parchment paper to a tray (roughly 12" x 8") and spread over grated parmesan. Spread out the croutons on top then bake in the oven at 180C/350F for 10mins, or until both the croutons and parmesan are deeply golden. Allow to cool (they'll crisp as they cool) then break up just before serving.
  4. Prep Chicken: In a small pot combine 1 tsp salt & garlic powder with 1/2 tsp black pepper. Slice the chicken breasts horizontally through the centre to make 4 even-sized breasts.
  5. Dredge Chicken: Line up 3 large shallow dishes – the first with flour and half of the seasoning mix, the second with beaten eggs and the third with breadcrumbs and the rest of the seasoning. One by one dredge the chicken breasts through the flour, into the egg, then finish in the breadcrumbs, making sure you thoroughly coat at each stage (namely the breadcrumbs).
  6. Fry Chicken: Heat up 1 cup of oil in a heavy-based pan over medium heat until a breadcrumb rapidly sizzles (approx 180C/350F). Two at a time, fry the chicken for 3-4mins each side, or until deep golden, visibly crispy and white/piping hot right through the centre. Place on a wire rack once cooked. Slice into strips once cooled.
  7. Salad: In a large mixing bowl toss the lettuce with your preferred amount of dressing (start off with less than you think then work up). Toss in the bacon and croutons, then serve up individual portions with the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle over more dressing if desired.
