BBQ Ribs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.

  4. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil and cover them tightly with another piece of foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.

  5. 5

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the BBQ sauce over the ribs and return them to the oven uncovered. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce halfway through.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Once the ribs are caramelized and the sauce is sticky, remove them from the oven. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
