Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 rack of baby back pork ribs, approximately 3 pounds
- ⅔ cup of prepared barbecue sauce or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Aluminum foil should be used to line a rimmed baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Keep aside.
- Insert a butter knife beneath the membrane at one end of the ribs and lift to remove the membrane from the rear side of the ribs. Grasp the membrane with a paper towel and gently pull to remove it completely.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs as evenly as possible.
- Place the ribs on the baking sheet that has been prepared (meat side up). Aluminum foil should be used to cover and seal the container.
- Bake for 3 hours, make sure the ribs are soft and tender.
- Remove the ribs from the oven and remove the aluminum foil carefully. Any juices should be drained and discarded. Brush both sides of the ribs with barbecue sauce.
- Turn the oven broiler to high and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to boil and caramelize (watching carefully so that ribs do not burn).
