Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dry rub.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels, then rub the olive oil all over the ribs to help the seasoning adhere.
Generously coat the ribs with the dry rub, ensuring all sides are evenly covered.
Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until they are fork-tender.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil. Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on all sides.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the barbecue sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side and your favorite sides, like coleslaw or cornbread.
