How To Make DR PEPPER RIBS

DR PEPPER RIBS

2 racks baby back ribs
1 (2 liter) bottle Dr. Pepper cola
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 medium onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:

1
Place the ribs in a large baking dish. Pour in Dr. Pepper and cover them, reserving at least 1/2 cup for the sauce. Add the salt and soak the ribs in fridge overnight (or at least 2 hours).
2
Heat the oven to 350°F Remove the ribs from the liquid, dry them, and rub with the chili powder. Place them on a baking dish, add 1 cup of water, and cover tightly with foil. Cook for 2 hours, until the meat nearly falls off the bone.
3
For BBQ Sauce: Heat the oil in saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they're soft and fragrant and add the ketchup, Worcestershire, vinegar, cayenne and 1/2 cup of Dr. Pepper. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
4
Fire up the grill, and brush the ribs with sauce. When the grill is hot, cook them bone side down on a cooler part for 10 to 15 minutes. Flip them and cook until lightly charred and smoky.
5
Remove and brush on more sauce.
