In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Season the Ribs
Rub the dry mixture generously over both sides of the ribs. Allow the ribs to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cook the Ribs

Apply Barbecue Sauce (Optional)

Rest and Serve
