Directions
1.
In a bowl, combine paprika, salt, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and red pepper; set aside.
2.
Preheat the grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3.
Place the rack of ribs on a large sheet tray or cutting board, cut off the skirt, and remove the membrane from the underside using a small knife and a paper towel for grip.
4.
Pat the ribs dry, rub oil over both sides, and sprinkle evenly with the spice rub.
5.
Place aluminum foil on the lower rack of the grill to catch drippings, then lay the ribs on the top rack with the curves of the bones facing down.
6.
Close the grill cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook the ribs for 40 minutes.
7.
While the ribs are cooking, prepare the corn by pulling back the husks (leaving them attached), removing the silk, and blending the butter, honey, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
8.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the honey butter over each ear of corn, pull the husks back over the kernels, and tie with kitchen twine.
9.
Place the prepared corn on the grill and turn every 5 minutes for 20 minutes, until the husks are charred and the kernels are tender; then remove and set aside, keeping the husks on to retain warmth.
10.
Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of 195˚ to 200˚F, brush them all over with barbecue sauce, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes.
11.
Remove the ribs from the grill, transfer to a cutting board, and serve whole or sliced, alongside the corn on the cob.
