INGREDIENTS
BBQ Rub (yields ~1/4 cup):
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp coconut palm sugar
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
3 lbs country-style ribs
1 cup barbecue sauce (see note below)
1/4 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1. Rub the ribs with half of the rub (about 2 tbsp), enough to cover them pretty well (it’s not rocket science), then let them sit for 10 minutes. Set the other half of the rub aside for other barbecuing adventures – it works especially well with pork and poultry.
SHARP CONVECTION MICROWAVE INSTRUCTIONS:
2. Preheat the convection microwave to 400F. Place the ribs in a deep baking pan (about 9″) and roast at 400F until starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the ribs and roast for another 5 minutes. As they roast, combine the barbecue sauce , apple juice, and liquid smoke. Pull out the baking sheet and pour the sauce over the ribs. Cover tightly with heavy duty tin foil and set the convection oven to 275F; roast for 90 minutes.
3. Remove the tin foil and set the microwave to roast (top and bottom heating elements on). Roast until the ribs are browned and the barbecue sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, then flip the ribs and roast until the other side is browned, another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
