Rib Wings

Ribs. You either love them or you hate them. I get it, while they are delicious, after you eat a smoked rib or two, the itch is scratched. These are the first ribs that I have cooked where I wished I had leftovers. 

Rib Wings on the Vortex

  • 2 slabs of baby back ribs, membrane removed and cut into individual ribs

  • Heath Riles Garlic Jalapeno Rub.

Season the ribs with the garlic jalapeno rub. Fire up the vortex in a weber kettle until the dome temp is around 500 degrees. Arrange the ribs on the outside of the vortex and cook with the lid on for 45 minutes rotating the lid 90 degrees every 15 minutes.

hot wing sauce

  • two fresh habaneros

  • orange juice

  • apple cider vinegar

  • minced garlic

  • lots of honey

  • 1 stick of butter

Blend everything but the butter in a food processor. Reduce the mixture down in a sauce pan until slightly thickened. Once your ribs are done, warm sauce back up, and add butter.

Top the ribs with your sauce, add some blue cheese and chives! Ranch is optional (but recommended).
