I suggest you start by purchasing your items at Sam’s Club, since it’ll allow you to pick up large quantities for a low price. Follow these steps, and your meat will be delicious and falling off the bone!

How To Grill The Perfect Ribs

Start by marinating your ribs. The best ribs are marinated overnight, giving them plenty of time to soak up all the delicious flavor.KC Masterpiece® BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub is the perfect marinade to use, and will make it easy for you to grill the perfect ribs. It can be used to make BBQ sauce, dry rub or marinade, and is great on chicken, pork, beef and vegetables.

How to Marinate your Ribs

Start by poking holes in your ribs with a fork to allow all of the flavor to sink in. Sprinkle your ribs with seasoning salt to taste. In a bowl, mix one packet of KC Masterpiece® BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub with 3/4 cups of Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola® de Mexico is available in 24-pack glass bottles at Sam’s Club, and is sweetened with real cane sugar and no high fructose corn syrup.Stir until fully mixed, then coat your slab of ribs with this mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Place Ribs on the Grill

Once you’ve heated up your grill and the coals are all grey, place your ribs directly on the rack rib side down and cook at around 350 degrees for approximately 3 hours, flipping every 30-45 minutes.

Before removing your ribs from the grill, test with a fork to make sure they are nice and tender. Your fork should be able to easily poke through the meat, and the meat should be flaky and falling off of the bone.

Coat with BBQ Sauce

Once your ribs are finished, make another batch of KC Masterpiece® BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub and mix with 3/4 cups of Coca-Cola once again. Stir the mixture until completely blended and use this BBQ mix to coat your ribs. You’ll now be able to slice your ribs between each individual bone, creating easy to eat ribs!

Pair Grilled Ribs with Simply Lemonade

The days of spending time squeezing fresh lemonade are over. Once you’ve followed this recipe to grill perfect ribs, pair them with a side of Simply Lemonade. Simply Lemonade provides a fresh taste experience, with no artificial preservatives, colors, or artificial flavors. Purchase these from Sam’s Club in the convenient 2 packs, so you’ll have plenty to serve your guests!

Once you’ve completed these steps, you will have mastered the secret to grill the perfect ribs! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the delicious creation that your friends and family will request at every BBQ from this point on!
