Boneless ribs!?!??!

So as I was trying to figure out what to
make tonight, I stumbled upon these. Boneless baby back ribs. My first reaction(though yes I've seen them before) was to say aloud, boneless baby back ribs??? My initial thought was the obvious, "no bone = no flavor". Then I did a double take when I asked myself if that in of itself was enough of a reason to pass on them as I have always done. Let me say I'm sure I glad I second guessed myself. So they took a bath in equal parts apple cider vinegar and apple juice along with some kosher salt for good measure. Rubbed down with sugar, kosher salt, cracked pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme powder, mustard seed powder, and paprika. Finished with a homemade apple cider vinegar/ketchup based sauce. Served with Old fashioned homemade cornbread in cast iron skillet (also done on the grill but finished in oven to brown top). Enjoy!

Forgot to mention that I threw a couple chunks of applewood over the coals.

Terrence, did those come from Berkot's? There are a couple of those on my way home from work.

Looks like there are a lot of possibilities...that are worth trying!!

Yes sir. It's the only game in town here in Manhattan. Though I've been going to the one in Mokena for years. Some of the best meat you can buy.

Applewood is the best - never disappoints.
