Cherry Chipotle Baby Back Ribs
7 hrs 20 mins - Prep 20 mins / Cook 7 hrs
Intermediate
Tender, grilled Cherry Chipotle Baby Back Ribs are sweet and spicy, with hints of chipotle chili pepper in a thick, tangy and subtly sweet adobo sauce. Grilled on the Rider Pellet Grill using the 3-2-1 method and brushed with cherry chipotle BBQ sauce, these ribs are insanely good. You don’t have to cook them on the Rider Pellet Grill, but we highly recommend it.
About the Cut: Baby back ribs form the rib bones of the pig closest to the loin. One rack (10 to 13 ribs) weighs about 3 to 4 pounds and should feed 2 to 3 people.
