Ingredients
- 4 pounds pork ribs trimmed and membrane removed
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp Smoked Salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper less if desired
- 2 cups jarred barbeque sauce + extra for serving
Instructions
- Get all the ingredients together.
- Remove the ribs from the refrigerator 30 minutes before preparing them for the oven. Trim any excess fat and remove the membrane that covers the bones.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, garlic powder, paprika, smoked salt, and cayenne pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the ribs.
- Lay out 2 layers of aluminum foil, dull side up, long enough for the ribs to fit inside. Place the ribs, meat side down on the foil. Place 2 more sheets of foil, shiny side facing up, on top of the ribs. Roll and crimp all the edges of the foil to form a tight seal around the ribs.
- Place the foil packet of ribs on a sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 2 to 2-1/2 hours until the meat starts to pull away from the bone ends. You can take a peek at 2 hours being careful not to let all the juices run out onto the pan.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place the ribs on a clean cutting board. Cut the ribs into portions – 2 or 3 ribs per portion.
- Turn on the broiler. Place the ribs on a broiler pan, bone side facing up. Slather on 1 cup of the barbeque sauce. Place the ribs under the broiler and cook until the sauce is bubbling and sticky, approximately 1-1/2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them!
- Remove the pan from the oven. Flip the ribs over and slather on the rest of the sauce. Return the pan to the oven and broil again for approximately 1-1/2 minutes.
- Serve the warm rib portions with extra sauce and your favorite barbeque sides and a bunch of paper napkins. The ribs will pull apart from one another.
