Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a knife to loosen and then pulling it off with your fingers or a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
Generously apply the dry rub over both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat.
Wrap each rack of ribs in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet.
Place the wrapped ribs onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bones.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil. Drain any juices.
Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce on both sides of the ribs.
For best results, finish the ribs on a grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C), and grill the ribs for about 5-10 minutes per side, basting with more BBQ sauce, until you get a nice char.
If you don't have a grill, you can broil them in your oven on high for about 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Remove the ribs from the grill or oven, let them rest for about 5 minutes, then cut between the bones to serve.
