Champ’s Choice Party Ribs with Homemade BBQ Sauce

If you’re looking for a showstopper dish for your next backyard cookout or tailgate. Look no further than these Champ’s Choice Party Ribs. Packed with bold birria-inspired flavor from Champ’s Choice Birria Style Blend and slathered in homemade BBQ sauce! These ribs are smoky, saucy, and seriously addictive.

What makes party ribs special? Instead of leaving the racks whole, we cut the ribs into individual pieces before they hit the grill. That means every side of every rib gets maximum seasoning, maximum smoke exposure, and maximum bark. It’s a genius move when you’re short on time but still want that perfect bite-through texture and deep smoky flavor.

For this recipe, I used two racks of Kurobuta spare ribs from Snake River Farms, beautifully marbled and tender. After removing the membrane, I sliced the racks into individual ribs. Then coated all four sides liberally with Champ’s Choice seasoning. While doing this, I preheated my Big Green Egg to 250°F and set it up for indirect cooking. For smoke, I went with bourbon barrel chunks, but you can also use hickory if you prefer a classic BBQ flavor.

The ribs cook for about three hours, getting a spritz of apple juice and apple cider vinegar after the first hour to keep them juicy. Once they’re done, I pull them off the grill, and toss them generously in my homemade Champ’s Choice BBQ sauce. Then pile them high on a platter. Serve them with extra sauce on the side or drizzle a little more over the top, either way, they’re impossible to resist.

These Champ’s Choice Party Ribs are perfect for game days, backyard gatherings, or anytime you want to impress your friends and family with next-level BBQ.
