Back Ribs Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  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 Dry Rub

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

  3. 3

    Rub the Ribs

    Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Wrap and Cook

    Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

  5. 5

    Glaze with Barbecue Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Brush the Kansas City sweet barbecue sauce generously over the ribs.

  6. 6

    Finish on the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with more barbecue sauce.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
