Ingredients
- •1 tablespoon kosher salt
- •Chili powder(15g)
- •Paprika, Ground(5g)
- •Garlic powder(10g)
- •Onion powder(5g)
- •½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- •Cayenne Pepper, Ground(1g)
- •Pork Ribs, Baby Back(1134g)
- •BBQ Sauce(360g)
Any BBQ sauce. Sweet Baby Ray's is a go-to. Check sugar content if cutting.
Instructions
- 1Heat oven to 300°F with a rack in the center position.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the salt, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and cayenne.
- 3If the ribs still have the thin clear membrane covering the back of the rack, you will need to remove it. Using a paring knife, start at one end of the ribs and carefully slide it under the membrane until you have separated enough of the membrane to hold onto. Use a paper towel to hold your grip on the membrane. Using a spoon or paring knife, slowly pull back on the membrane until it separates from the rack. Discard.
- 4Rub the seasoning all over the ribs. Place the ribs, meat-side up, on a large rimmed sheet pan. If necessary, trim a few ribs off the rack and arrange them to fit on the pan.
- 5Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 2½ to 3 hours, or until the meat easily falls off the bone.
- 6Remove the ribs from the oven. Set aside the foil, then brush both sides of the cooked ribs with ½ cup of barbecue sauce.
- 7Turn the broiler to HIGH. Return the ribs to the oven and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. Remove from the oven, lay the foil over the ribs and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- 8Serve warm, with the remaining bbq sauce alongside.
