These smoky BBQ ribs are grilled to perfection, offering a tender and flavorful experience.
Mix the ginger powder, onion powder, garlic powder, soy sauce, honey, and smoked paprika in a bowl to create the marinade.
Ensure the marinade is well mixed to evenly coat the ribs.
Place the ribs in a dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor penetration into the ribs.
Soak the wood chips in water for at least an hour.
Soaking the wood chips prevents them from burning too quickly.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and prepare it for indirect cooking. Place a pouch of soaked wood chips on one side of the grill.
Ensure the grill maintains a consistent temperature for even cooking.
Place the ribs on the grill away from direct heat. Close the lid and cook for 3 hours, replacing the wood chip pouch every hour.
Monitor the grill temperature to ensure it stays around 300°F.
Check the ribs for doneness. They should bend easily and the meat should pull away from the bones.
If the ribs are not tender, continue cooking and check every 15 minutes.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest under foil for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the ribs moist.
