Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 6 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Divide the marinade in half. Coat 4 chicken breasts with half the marinade, and 2 lbs pork back ribs with the other half. Let both marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Place the pork back ribs on a roasting pan and roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour, basting with leftover marinade every 20 minutes until tender.
  4. Step 4: After 40 minutes of ribs roasting, place chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is golden with grill marks.
  5. Step 5: Rest chicken for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve grilled chicken alongside the tender roasted back ribs, spooning any pan juices over the meat for extra flavor.
