Ribs AND Chicken?

Good morning everyone...
I need some advice on cooking up some back ribs (2 racks) and 6 chicken breasts on one large egg!
My plan is to low and slow (225) the ribs in a ribs rack for 5 hrs, then take them off, fire back up to 425 and do the breasts for 45 minutes.
Does that sound about right?
What do I do with the ribs, besides eating them :whistle: , while the chicken is cooking?

I still have a few hours before I start prepping the ribs, so fire away with any and all suggestions.

Thanks

    You can just cover your ribs with some foil--they will stay warm without a problem. If something delays you with the chicken, foil the ribs and place them in a cooler, covered by a couple towels.

    Thanks Doc
    Do you think 45 minutes is enough time for the breasts?
    They are bone in!
    Any suggestions on seasoning / marinating the chicken?

    45 minutes should be fine for the breasts at that temp.

    For a simple marinade, I always like Wishbone Italian dressing. Best if you can do an overnight soak, but even a couple hours adds a bunch of flavor.
