Applebee’s Baby Back Ribs

Applebee’s Baby Back Ribs are incredibly easy to make at home with our Applebee’s Baby Back Ribs Secret Recipe. The whole thing takes about about 1 1/4 hours — with only about 4 minutes actual work time.

The BBQ sauce is surprisingly simple and has only 6 — count ’em 6! — ingredients.

I usually make 2 batches of the sauce. One for basting and one for dipping at the table.

Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book: Recipes and Secrets from a Legendary Barbecue Joint

Applebee's Baby Back Ribs Secret Recipe (10)Winners of the World Championship BBQ Cook-Off for six years in a row and with hundreds of other contest ribbons as well, nobody does barbecue better than Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama. Chris Lilly, executive chef of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q and great-grandson-in-law of Big Bob himself, now passes on the family secrets in this quintessential guide to barbecue.

From dry rubs to glazes and from sauces to slathers, Lilly gives the lowdown on Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q’s award-winning seasonings and combinations. You’ll learn the unique flavors of different woods and you’ll get insider tips on creating the right heat – be it in a charcoal grill, home oven, or backyard ground pit. Then, get the scoop on pulled pork, smoked beef brisket, pit-fired poultry, and, of course, ribs.

Complete the feast with sides like red-skin potato salad and black-eyed peas. And surely you’ll want to save room for Lilly’s dessert recipes such as Big Mama’s Pound Cake. Loaded with succulent photographs, easy-to-follow instructions, and colorful stories, Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book honors the legacy of Big Bob Gibson’s and of great barbeque.
