HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
RIBS
- If your butcher has not already done so, remove the thin silverskin membrane from the bone-side of the ribs by working the tip of a butter knife or a paring knife underneath the membrane over a middle bone. Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then tear the membrane off.
- Mix all rub ingredients together for your seasoned rub. Rub the ribs generously on all sides. Arrange ribs on a large rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle half of rub over top. Turn over and sprinkle remaining rub over other side. Let sit at room temperature until grill is ready.
- When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Smoke the ribs, meat-side up, for 3 hours. Transfer the ribs to a rimmed baking sheet but leave the grill on. Set the temperature to 225F.
- Place ribs on grill and smoke for 2 hours. Remove from grill and wrap ribs in a double layer of foil. Pour apple juice into the foil pack over the ribs.
- Return ribs to the grill and cook for 2 more hours. Remove ribs from grill, remove from foil and brush with sauce of choice and cook for 15 to 20 minutes longer allowing sauce to set.
CHICKEN WINGS
- Mix all rub ingredients together for your seasoned rub. Rub the wings generously on all sides. Arrange wings on a large rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle half of rub over top. Turn over and sprinkle remaining rub over other side. Let sit at room temperature until grill is ready.
