Easy Grilled Baby Back Ribs

Category: Ribs Grilled

2 Tbsp packed dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 racks baby back port ribs (about 2 lbs)

In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients except the ribs; set aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut and pull the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs. Using your fingers, rub the spice mixture over ribs to coat evenly. Place each rack of ribs in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight, turning bag occasionally (if ribs will not fit in a bag, place on a baking sheet and wrap well with plastic wrap).
Prepare grill for medium direct heat. Remove the ribs from the plastic bag and wrap each rack separately in a double layer of heavy-duty foil.
Grill covered, for 25 minutes. Turn packets over; grill for 25 minutes more. Test for doneness by poking a fork between the bones; the meat should be very tender. If the ribs are not done, return to the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes more until fork tender.
Carefully remove packets from grill. Unwrap ribs and place them directly on grill; cook for 2-3 minutes for side or until crisp. Transfer ribs to a cutting board. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs.
