Method
Baby Back Ribs Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ribs
Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the seasonings penetrate the meat better.

Make the Dry Rub
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Season the Ribs
Rub the dry mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow the ribs to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Broil the Ribs
Turn the oven to broil and return the ribs to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the sauce caramelizes and the edges crisp up. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
