Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create the rub.
Remove the membrane from the back side of the ribs for more tender results. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
Generously season the ribs all over with the spice rub, making sure to press it into the meat.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly with aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped ribs on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender.
Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully unwrap the ribs and drain any accumulated juices.
Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce all over the ribs.
Place the ribs back into the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce has caramelized and the ribs are sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and allow them to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the ribs warm with additional barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
