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)

Instructions
- 1Heat oven to 300°F with a rack in the center position.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- 3Remove the thin membrane from the back of the pork ribs by sliding a paring knife under it, then use a paper towel to grip and peel it away from the rack. Discard the membrane.
- 4Rub the seasoning mixture evenly all over both sides of the ribs, then arrange them meat-side up on a large rimmed sheet pan, trimming and fitting as needed. Cover the sheet pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 300°F for 2½ to 3 hours, until the meat easily falls off the bone when tested with a fork.
- 5Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully peel back the foil, and brush both sides generously with the BBQ sauce.
- 6Turn the broiler to HIGH and return the ribs to the oven. Broil for 2 to 4 minutes, until the BBQ sauce begins to caramelize and turn dark brown at the edges.
- 7Remove from the oven, lay the foil loosely over the ribs, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- 8Divide the ribs evenly among 6 plates or cutting boards while still warm. Serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side.
