Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Cut each full rack of ribs in half to create 4 half racks.
Sprinkle a mixture of salt, pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tbsp chili pepper over the meat.
Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake for 2½ hours.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add onions, cook and stir in the oil for 5 minutes until they are soft.
Add water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan.
Add 2 tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and ½ tbsp ground chili pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Let the sauce simmer for 1¼ hours uncovered or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and set it aside.
Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them stand for 10 minutes.
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Brush the sauce onto the ribs just before serving them. Avoid adding the sauce too early, as it may burn.
