Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Cut each full rack of ribs in half to make 4 half racks. Season generously with salt and black pepper (more black pepper than salt); sprinkle 1 tablespoon of ground chile pepper evenly over the meat.
Wrap each half rack tightly in aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours and 30 minutes, ensuring they become incredibly tender.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the chopped onion in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Add molasses, 2 teaspoons of salt, garlic powder, your favorite whisky, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of ground chile pepper, liquid smoke, onion powder, paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your liking, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set the delicious barbecue sauce aside.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Carefully remove the wrapped ribs from the oven. Let them stand for about 10 minutes to rest, then remove the ribs from the foil.
Cook the ribs on the preheated grill for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side, achieving those perfect grill marks. Brush the barbecue sauce on the ribs while grilling, just before you serve them, to avoid burning. Enjoy!
