Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.
Pat the short ribs dry using paper towels and generously season them on all sides with the spice mixture.
Place the seasoned short ribs in a large roasting pan or baking dish in a single layer. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the foil. Brush barbecue sauce generously over the top and sides of the ribs.
Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with more barbecue sauce halfway through, until the sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky.
Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
