DINOSAUR BAR-B-QUE’S CRISPY RITZ RIBS

The term Ribs usually refers to the less meaty part of the chops, often cooked as a slab (not cut into separate ribs). People have been cooking the meat, and ribs, of their hunts for thousands of year. It is one of the most primal (and delicious) food experiences one can have.

Recipe by John Stage, Founder/Pitmaster courtesy of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Ingredients

  • 2 racks of St. Louis Style Ribs
  • 14 oz Ritz Crackers
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 2 tbsp coarse black pepper
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • Creole Seasoning (recipe to follow)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250F. Put a wire rack over a jelly roll pan and pour 1 cup of water into the pan. Set the ribs (seasoned with salt and pepper) on the rack, meaty side up. Slide them into the oven and roast slowly. Check every hour or so for doneness. The ribs should be done after 2½-3 hours (they will be done if you can gently tear the meat between the bones, or reach an internal temperature of at least 180F.) When ribs are done, remove from oven and set aside and let cool completely.
  2. Once ribs are cooled, cut into individual ribs.
  3. Pulse Ritz Crackers into crumbs using a food processor. Mix in granulated garlic, kosher salt and coarse black pepper to season crumb mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a 9-inch pan to 325-350F. While the oil is getting hot,  take each rib and coat in flour, dip in egg wash, and then coat with Ritz crumb mixture. Set aside.
  5. Add ribs meat side down into hot oil (should be about ¾ covered). This should be done in batches – be careful not to overcrowd pan and bring down temperature!
  6. Cook approximately 1½-2 minutes  till ribs are crispy and golden brown.
  7. While the ribs are still hot, season with Creole Seasoning.
