Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the pork spare ribs for better flavor absorption.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

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

  3. 3

    Coat the Ribs

    Generously rub the dry rub mixture all over the ribs, ensuring even coverage. Let the ribs marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).

  2. 5

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover with another piece of foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

  3. 6

    Glaze the Ribs

    Remove the top layer of foil and brush the ribs with barbecue sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until caramelized.

  4. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let the ribs rest for 10 minutes, then cut into portions and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
