Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Start by removing the silver skin from the back of the ribs. Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Apply the Rub

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub the mixture all over the ribs. Coat the ribs with yellow mustard to help the rub stick.

  3. 3

    Let it Rest

    Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

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

  5. 5

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down. Cover with another piece of foil. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.

  6. 6

    Glaze with Barbecue Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
