The Only Rib Recipe You'll Ever Need

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Carla Hall are joined by legendary pitmaster Myron Mixon for a full masterclass in championship-worthy ribs. Myron breaks down the process from start to finish using ingredients you can actually find at the grocery store, proving that great barbecue doesn't have to be complicated - or require a competition rig in your backyard.

He shares the small techniques that make a huge difference: removing the membrane, trimming St. Louis ribs properly, injecting between the bones, using a neutral oil to hold the rub, tightening the rack before it cooks, spritzing during the smoke, wrapping with apple juice, and heating your sauce before it ever touches the meat. He also explains how to adapt the same method for an oven if you don't have access to a smoker.

Along the way, Myron talks about decades of barbecue competitions, the mentors who taught him how to win, the difference between competition barbecue and cooking at home, and why losing is part of getting better. When the finished ribs finally hit the table, Michael and Carla get a lesson in what truly tender barbecue should look and taste like - and why Myron has earned his reputation as one of the great characters and champions of the barbecue world.
