Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby back ribs, trimmed
  • 4 smoked sausage links (your favorite variety)
  • 1 pound chicken wings, skin-on
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup honey mustard sauce
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup pickled cucumbers, sliced
  • Grilled corn on the cob, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup mixed olives
  • 6 ounces assorted sliced cheeses
  • 1 small baguette or crispy breadsticks
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Optional garnishes: pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if not already done.
  2. Mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Rub the dry mix evenly over the ribs and let sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  4. Toss chicken wings with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper; set aside.
  5. Preheat grill to medium heat (around 350°F / 175°C). Clean and oil grill grates.
  6. Cook ribs indirectly on the grill, bone side down, for 1 ½ to 2 hours, turning occasionally and basting with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes.
  7. Grill sausages and wings directly over medium heat, turning frequently: wings for 15–20 minutes, sausages for 10–12 minutes.
  8. Baste wings with ranch dressing or preferred dip immediately after grilling.
  9. While meats cook, slice grilled corn, cheeses, and bread; arrange pickles, olives, and cherry tomatoes in bowls or piles.
  10. Assemble the board by arranging ribs, sausages, and wings first, then fill gaps with cheeses, veggies, and dips.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and optional pickled jalapeños.
  12. Serve immediately with napkins and your favorite cold beverage.
  13. If ribs are tough after cooking, wrap in foil and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Remove rib membrane for better flavor absorption. Use indirect heat for ribs to avoid burning. Rest meat before slicing to retain juices. Offer multiple sauces for customization. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sausages and bread or omit bread. Leftovers reheat well wrapped in foil at 300°F for 15-20 minutes. Flavors deepen if left overnight.
