If you’ve ever craved that iconic McRib flavor but wanted to whip it up yourself, you’ve got to check out Heath Riles BBQ. In his latest video, Heath takes us through a fantastic journey of making a Copycat McRib, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!
BBQ Magic with a Twist
Heath’s approach is a genius blend of his world championship rib recipe and a fun take on the beloved McRib. He starts by smoking some beautiful baby back ribs, using his special BBQ seasonings and a technique he calls the Butter Bath & Wrap. That’s right, it’s not just about the smoke; it’s about adding layers of flavor!
Ingredients and Techniques
So what does it take to make this BBQ masterpiece? Heath uses:
- 2 slabs of Prairie Fresh Prime baby back ribs
- Mustard (for a unique base)
- Heath Riles BBQ Garlic Jalapeño Rub
- Heath Riles BBQ Competition BBQ Rub
- ½ cup of his Butter Bath & Wrap
- A mix of tasty BBQ sauces for that perfect glaze
To kick things off, set your smoker to 275°F using some hickory-blended pellets. Then, it’s all about prepping those ribs—removing the membrane and seasoning them with mustard (which is a game changer by the way) before adding a flavorful rub. Heath smokes these beauties for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours until they have that perfect color and flavor.
Finishing Touches
After the smoke, Heath shows us how to take the meat off the bone and transform it into a scrumptious McRib sandwich. He layers it with fresh rolls, thin-sliced onions, and dill pickle chips, bringing everything together with his rich selection of BBQ sauces. The combination of sweet and savory is just unbeatable!
