All American Pork Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients:
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons of paprika
– 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon of onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the racks. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat more effectively during cooking.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This dry rub will add depth and richness to the ribs.
4. Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides. Allow the ribs to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
5. Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared baking sheet, bone side down. Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil to create a sealed packet.
6. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through. You’ll know they’re ready when the meat starts to pull away from the bones.
7. Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Brush a generous amount of barbecue sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
8. Fire up the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the ribs on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, basting with additional barbecue sauce and flipping occasionally, until they are nicely caramelized.
9. Once the ribs are beautifully charred and sticky, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
