Instructions
-
If you have not prepared them already, pull off the membrane from the back of the ribs and slice them into individual bones. Generously season your ribs with your favorite BBQ Seasoning and set to the side.
-
Preheat your smoker to 275F for indirect cooking. Add some hickory wood chunks for added smoke flavor if desired.
-
Add your ribs to the smoker and cook them until they are 165F (About 2-2.5 hours) making sure to flip them halfway through the cook. Once the ribs are done, pull them off, cover them, and set them aside. Let your smoker heat up to 375F, then add a basting skillet with the ingredients for the PB&J BBQ Sauce. Let it slowly cook until it is nicely mixed, warm and thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Once done, pull aside and wait to use it.
-
With your grill at high heat, add a large skillet or dutch oven to the grill to preheat for 2 minutes, then carefully fill it with frying oil. Make sure to add enough oil so that you can fully immerse the ribs. Bring the frying oil up to 350F. In another bowl, add the flour and then dredge your ribs by adding them to the flour and coating it well. Make sure to brush off any excess flour. Once all the ribs are dredged and the oil is ready, add the ribs to the frying oil to cook for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. Add ribs in small batches so as to not overcrowd the skillet. Once done, pull off and let cool on a paper town to drain any excess oil.
-
When all the ribs are done, place them in a large bowl and drizzle the PB&J BBQ Sauce over top. Toss them until they are well coated, then place them on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped scallions, chopped peanuts and a drizzle of honey. Serve and enjoy!
