Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork ribs generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Place them on a baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Slow Cook the Ribs

    Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Ribs

    Cut the ribs into individual pieces. Fry the ribs in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oil and toss them in barbecue sauce until well coated.
