Order them well done and they improve drastically.

I heard it called “Eggy in the basket” from V for Vendetta.

Thanks, that all sounds great. Knowing me, I’d probably triple the garlic.

That looks tremendous! What’s the mix on the ribs?

Some char is all well and good. Rotate them as you go. I shoot for anywhere between medium (usually lands there on the larger ribs) and well done. Hope you enjoy!

Absolutely. Old recipe from my grandfather:

• about 1 cup each equal parts white vinegar and soy sauce (I tend toward 3:2 for the tanginess)
• 1 bottle or can of beer (he used Bud, but I prefer a hazy)
• 1 rough chopped sweet onion
• 1 whole head smashed garlic cloves
• red chili flakes to your liking
• 1 tablespoon or so whole black peppercorns or ground or both
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Stir and taste prior to adding ribs.

Trim and cut ribs (2 racks), marinate minimum 12 hours (I’ve pushed to 72 for heavier flavor), grill med-high heat. Turns out fantastic every time. edit: spare ribs specifically, as baby backs have more fat and are more tender to start

Fair enough and thanks for answering. For baby backs, I’ll usually leave it on as it’s typically thin as you saw. I occasionally make a marinade style spare rib recipe where I cut them individually without removing the silverskin and quick grill. When smoking, I’ve taken to removing it, but recently saw a video on some top tier Texas BBQ place that doesn’t bother. Thought maybe there’s something to it.

They look gorgeous! I’ve recently seen a trend toward not removing the silverskin and was wondering if it’s just to help with rib meat retention on the bone or otherwise. Any insight you could provide would be most welcome.

Before reading the description, I saw a habañero over spinach and thought maybe I’d been missing out on some odd tradition. Might have to try it now.

I’m good with it, but maybe crispy onions like the kind you put on green bean casserole.

That looks gorgeous! Just glad I’m already having dinner or I’d want that with some jalapeños and antacids.

They looked pretty good, are they real? Are they built for speed or for comfort? What’d you do with them? Motorboat? You play the motorboat? [makes motorboat noises] You motor-boating son of a bitch!

I get the clarification. Just wanted to make an Arrested Development joke and it turned into a whole semantic argument. Alas, as Michael tells Tobias: “There’s gotta be a better way to say that.”

We just call it fried chicken. I should know, I’m Mr. Manager. That being said, looks great and I want all of that.
