Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ribs
Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs using a sharp knife. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and allow the flavors to penetrate better.

Make the Dry Rub
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a uniform dry rub.

Apply the Rub
Generously coat the ribs with the dry rub mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
