Baby Back Ribs
FOR THE SPICE RUB
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1½ teaspoons garlic powder
1½ teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
FOR THE RIBS
2 Racks Baby Back Ribs
About 6 tablespoons Jimmy Ray’s Spicy Sweet Honey Chipotle Sauce, plus more for serving.
Make the Spice Rub: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper.
Preheat smoker to 225°F or oven to 300°F. (If using the oven, set one rack in the middle position and one rack in the top position.)
Remove the membrane that coats the underside of each rack of ribs. Using a butter knife, loosen the membrane around one of the end bones, scraping it away from the ribs. Once you get under it, grab the membrane with a paper towel and peel it off. If you’re lucky, it will come off all in one piece. (Alternatively, ask your butcher to do this for you.)
Coat the ribs evenly on both sides with about half of the spice rub. Allow the ribs to sit for about 15 minutes to “sweat” and absorb the rub, then coat the racks with the remainder of the rub. It will seem like too much rub but it’s not – use it all.
SMOKER METHOD: Place the spice-coated ribs in the smoker and cook for 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the smoker and double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty foil. Return to the smoker for 1½ hours. Remove the foil-wrapped ribs from the smoker (hot grease may drip out of the foil, so be careful). Carefully unwrap, leaving the ribs on the foil, and brush to the top of each rack with about 3 tablespoons of Jimmy Ray’s Championship BBQ sauce. Fold the edges of the foil around the ribs, creating a makeshift “pan” for each rack. Place the racks back in the smoker on the foil and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour more, or until the racks are tender. To determine if they’re done, lift them from the center with tongs – if they bend easily and the meat “cracks” on top, they are ready. Let the ribs cool for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
OVEN OR OVEN-TO-GRILL METHOD: Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the spice-coated ribs on the prepared pan, cover the pan tightly with foil, and bake until tender, about 2 hours. Turn the oven to broil. Remove the foil from the ribs and brush each rack with 3 tablespoons of Jimmy Ray’s Championship BBQ Sauce. Broil until the sauce just starts to bubble and caramelize, 2 to 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on the ribs while they’re under the broiler; because of the sugar in the rub and sauce, they will quickly go from nicely caramelized to burnt. (Alternatively, you can skip the broiling and finish the ribs on the grill. Preheat the grill to medium and grill the baked racks for 10 to 15 minutes, brushing occasionally with Jimmy Ray’s Championship BBQ Sauce until charred in spots and heated through. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.) Let the ribs cool for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
Happy Saucing!

Salt and Pepper to taste
***You can also just use Montreal Steak Seasoning which has all those above ingredients plus more***

Taco Salad
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
2 Tbsp. Taco Seasoning
1/4 cup Jimmy Ray's Spicy Sweet Honey Chipotle Sauce
1/4 cup Water, plus more as needed
Salad
1 Head Romaine lettuce - (large)
2 cups Diced Cherry Tomatoes
2 Avocados, sliced (optional)
1 cup Frozen Sweet Corn - thawed
1/4 cup Diced Red Onions - (small dice)
1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
Tortilla strips or chips
(we prefer Doritos Nacho Cheese or the Original Taco flavor if you can find them)
Sour Cream for topping
Green Onion Tops for garnish
Jimmy Ray's Spicy Sweet Honey Chipotle Sauce
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add beef and let it sear about 3-4 minutes. Tip: break it up in chunks for better searing. Then, break up the meat and continue cooking until cooked through, stirring as needed. Drain excess fat.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the taco seasoning to the beef and stir until thoroughly mixed with the meat. Add water and simmer until the liquid is reduced. Then stir in 1/4 cup Jimmy Ray's Spicy Sweet Honey Chipotle Sauce and and reduce. The beef should be nicely moist - if too wet, keep cooking to reduce, and if too dry, add more Jimmy Ray's.
Assemble the salad: Layer lettuce on salad bowls, then add some halved cherry tomatoes, corn, diced onions, prepared beef, cheese, tortilla chips or strips, cheese, and avocado (if using).
Serve with some sour cream, cilantro for garnish. Drizzle extra Jimmy Ray's Spicy Sweet Honey Chipotle Sauce as dressing. Enjoy!
Honey Chipotle BBQ Drumsticks
2 lb. chicken drumsticks (legs)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
BBQ Spice Blend
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
1/2 cup Jimmy Ray's Spicy Sweet Honey Chiptle Sauce
Make the bbq seasoning spice blend by measuring out the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne powder (if using), and adding each to a small dish. Stir with a spoon.
Pat each chicken drumstick with a few paper towels to fully dry the skin. Drizzle the chicken with oil and season with the spice blend. Mix well to coat each piece of chicken thoroughly.
Gas Grill Method: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Add the chicken drumsticks to clean, well-oiled grates, and cook. Turn each piece after a few minutes, until the skin is browned and crispy on all sides.
Lower the heat to medium low (about 300°F), and close the grill. Cook for about 25 minutes, stopping halfway through to turn the chicken once.
Last, brush each piece of chicken with Jimmy Ray's Spicy Sweet Honey Chipotle Sauce.
Check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked to 165°F (~74°C), then serve immediately!
Charcoal Grill Method: Create two heat zones (one with medium high heat and one with medium-low heat) by moving most of the charcoal to one side of the grill.
Begin by placing the pieces of chicken directly over the heat source, turning every few minutes as the skin browns.
Once the skin is browned and crispy, move the chicken away from the heat source, to the indirect (medium-low) heat zone. Cover and cook for about 25 more minutes, stopping halfway through to turn the chicken.
Last, brush each piece of chicken with Jimmy Ray's Spicy Sweet Honey Chipotle Sauce.
Check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked to 165°F (~74°C), then serve immediately!
