Rub Seasoning

BBQ ribs have always been a fan favorite, but what really the best way to make truly amazing ribs is to make a dry rub that impresses with every bite. Don't get intimidated, it's easier than you think! This dry rub is made with 2 tbsp of smoked paprika, 1 tbsp of sea salt, 1 tbsp of coarse ground black pepper,1 tbsp of granulated garlic,1 tbsp of granulated onion, and ½ tsp of chinese five spice.

Optional or alternative seasonings include brown sugar, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, yellow mustard, cayenne pepper, or Worcestershire sauce.

Make even better ribs with this creamy and delicious bang bang sauce! The sauce comes together with ¼ cup of sweet thai chili sauce, ¼ cup of mayonnaise, 1 tbsp of sriracha, 1 tbsp of lime juice, and 1 tbsp of rice wine vinegar.

How to Make Smoked Baby Back Ribs with Bang Bang Sauce Step by Step Instructions

Prep the smoker. Preheat your pellet smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make the dry rub. Prepare the rub seasoning by combining the seasoning in a shaker jar or small bowl.

Prep the ribs. Remove the membrane (connective tissue also called silver skin) from the back of the ribs and trim off any pieces of bone. When done, rub it down the ribs with Maggi seasoning and avocado oil (or olive oil) on both sides.

Season the meat. Season the ribs on both sides and let sit for 15 minutes while the smoker heats up.

Cook the ribs. Smoke the ribs at 250 degrees f. for 4 hours. Once an hour spray with cooking spray just to prevent the ribs from drying out.

Brush with bang bang sauce and continue cooking. Once the ribs are tender and have an internal temperature between 195-205 degrees F. brush the bang bang sauce on the ribs and continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce caramelizes.

Slice and garnish. Slice the ribs individually and brush extra sauce onto the sides of the ribs. Before serving, garnish with scallions, sliced jalapeños, and sesame seeds.

Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storing Leftover Ribs

Have extra meat? Store these delicious ribs in an airtight container once they have reached room temperature and put them in the fridge.

Leftover ribs will last for about 3-4 days.

Looking for a way to refresh the leftovers? Take the rib meat off the leftovers, cut it up, and toss it in a fresh green salad for an easy, meaty, and healthy lunch option.

Storing Leftover Bang Bang Sauce

I have to admit, I don't usually have leftovers of this recipe because, yes, they are THAT good.

However, if you do have leftovers or sauce leftovers, grab a mason jar or container and pour your sauce in.

Store it in the fridge and use it to make more ribs, bang bang shrimp, or bang bang chicken!

Helpful Kitchen Equipment

Sharp Knife: This will help you pull off the membrane on the back of the ribs and slice them when you are ready to enjoy them!

Grill: For this recipe, I used a pellet grill however, you can also use an electric smoker. Don't have a smoker? Don't get discouraged, you can make these ribs with a charcoal grill and gas grill as well.

Wood Chips or Wood Chunks: Use your favorite pellets to smoke these ribs and give you the best smoky flavor.
