Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 racks Pork ribs
- 1 jar Barbecue sauce
Dry Rub Spices:
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1–2 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Combine ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp chili powder, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tbsp smoked paprika, and 1-2 tsp cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl to create your dry rub seasoning.
- Preheat your oven to 275°F, ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- Thoroughly rinse 2 racks of pork ribs under cold water, then pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Carefully remove the tough membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under the thin layer and peeling it off in one smooth motion.
- Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the prepared dry rub, massaging the seasoning into the meat to ensure complete coverage.
- Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet that will lock in moisture during baking.
- Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a greased baking sheet, positioning them bone-side down for optimal cooking.
- Bake the ribs for 3 hours at 275°F, allowing the low, slow heat to tenderize the meat completely.
- Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully drain any accumulated liquid from the foil packets.
- Brush the entire surface of the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce, covering every inch of meat.
- Broil the sauced ribs for 5 minutes at 500°F, watching carefully to prevent burning and create a caramelized exterior.
- Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones to serve 4-6 people.
Notes
- Remove the tough membrane from the back of the ribs for maximum tenderness and better flavor absorption.
- Mix the dry rub ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even, balanced seasoning across the entire rack of ribs.
- Wrapping the ribs tightly in foil helps them steam and become incredibly tender during the slow cooking process.
- If cooking for guests with different spice tolerances, you can adjust the cayenne pepper in the dry rub to make it milder or more intense.
