Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Rinse the country-style pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Rub the ribs with olive oil to help the seasoning stick.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dry rub.
Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat for better flavor.
Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, meat side up.
Cover the baking sheet tightly with another layer of aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until they are fork-tender.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully discard the top layer of foil.
Brush a generous amount of barbecue sauce over the ribs, coating them evenly.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the barbecue sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides like coleslaw, baked beans, or cornbread.
