Baby Back Ribs

1 Tablespoon Vegetable oil

1 Medium Onion - thinly sliced

1 Teaspoon dried thyme

3 Tablespoons bourbon

1/2 Cup purchased barbecue sauce

1 Slab Baby Back Ribs - cut in two one-inch thick pork chops

Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-hi heat. Add onion and saute until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add thyme and saute 1 minute. Add bourbon and simmer until mixture is reduced to a glaze, about 1 minute. Mix in barbecue sauce.

Prepare grill (medium-hi heat). Season ribs or chops with salt and pepper; grill 5 minutes per side.

Brush with sauce; continue grilling until cooked through, brushing with sauce and turning every 5 minutes, about 15 minutes longer for ribs or 10 minutes for chops (total cooking time for ribs 25 minutes, for chops, 20 minutes).

Arrange meat on plates and spoon remaining sauce alongside.
