1

Marinate to Perfection

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a spicy marinade. Place your ribs in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor. Remember, patience is a virtue!

2

Prep the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, remove the ribs from the marinade and let any excess sauce drip off. Season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby, just in case the flames get a bit too excited.

3

Grill 'em Up

Place the ribs on the grill, bone-side down, and close the lid. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until they develop a nice char. Flip the ribs over and cook for another 5 minutes. Watch out for flare-ups and adjust the heat as needed. Keep an eye on those perfectly charred edges!

4

Baste and Repeat

Brush a generous amount of the leftover marinade on both sides of the ribs. Close the lid and let the ribs continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Keep the flames dancing and your taste buds tingling!

5

Rest and Serve

Once cooked to perfection, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure maximum tenderness. Slice the ribs into individual portions and serve them up with a side of coleslaw or cornbread for a complete meal. Enjoy the spicy deliciousness!
