Ribshave to be one of my favorite items he smokes.
They turn out perfect every time. Now I am going to let you in on the secret to making these perfect smoked ribs. These ribs come out tender and full of flavor every time. The 321 ribs will produce the best tasting and also the best texture for ribs.
See below to find out the secret ingredient to make these the best ribs ever!
How to Make 3-2-1 Ribs
Ingredients for the perfect BBQ Rib Recipe
The Best 321 Rib Dry Rub:
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1/2 Cup of CK Mondavi Chardonnay Wine
1/2 Cup Bar B Que Sauce
Directions How to Make321 Ribs
1. First of all I do not know how to cook over an open flame. I leave that to my husband. He loves it and he has perfected it, so I leave that up to him. I can bake a great cake and he leaves that up to me!
2. Let’s start by preparing the ribs with the dry rub ingredients listed above. Use this rub to coat both sides of the ribs. Then create a fire in the pit. The temperature should be at 225 for the entire cooking time. Cookthe ribson the BBQ pit for 3 hours. This is part one of the 3 2 1 ribs method.
3. Next place a layer of foil down. This is the secret to great tasting ribs. Take out the ribs outand pour a 1/2 cup CK Mondavichardonnaywine on top of the ribs.Wrap the ribs in foil.This steams the ribs for the next two hours, part two of the 3 2 1 ribs. As a result, the wine acts as a meat tenderizer for the ribs and adds a great flavor.
4. Finally smother the smoked ribs in BBQsauce and wrap the ribs back up in the foil. I like a little sweet and little spice tasting ribs. These ribs are always sweet and spicy and cooked to perfection.

3-2-1 Ribs Recipe for your smoker
These 3 2 1 ribs are perfect to just bite right off the bone. They come out tender and juicy ever time. Nothing is better for the 4th of July than smoked ribs. We enjoyed these ribs paired with the remaining chardonnay wine from CK Mondavi. This chardonnay is medium-bodied with a hint of oak. Aromas of lemon and citrus combined with favors of apple and pear lead to a delightfully crisp finish which paired wonderfully with the pork ribs. To keep the wine cool in the hot summer, try adding a few frozen raspberries or blue berries to the glass. Then eat the berries for a sweet treat.
CK Mondavi is the perfect 4th of July wine. Not only is it the only wine in this price point to be 100% American made & grown, but a percentage of sales goes to supporting veterans. A percentage of each bottle sold between May – August is donated to Intrepid Fallen Heroes (up to $50,000). How awesome to be able to give back while celebrating for the 4th of July.
