Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Start by rinsing the pork spare ribs under cold water to remove any excess moisture. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended.

  3. 3

    Apply the Dry Rub

    Generously rub the dry rub mixture onto both sides of the pork spare ribs, ensuring an even coating. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 5

    Prepare for Cooking

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover them tightly with another piece of foil to keep them moist while cooking.

  3. 6

    Bake the Ribs

    Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bone.

  4. 7

    Add the Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully take off the top layer of foil. Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the ribs.

  5. 8

    Broil the Ribs

    Turn on the broiler and return the ribs to the oven. Broil for 5-10 minutes, keeping a close watch, until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.

  6. 9

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
