Ingredients

Dry Rub

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • tablespoons paprika
  • tablespoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Ribs

  • 2 pounds pork baby back ribs
  • 1 (18-ounce) bottle barbecue sauce, divided

Instructions

  • Combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne to make a dry rub.
  • Remove the clear membrane from the underside of ribs, in preparation for dry rub. Rub your dry rub gently onto both sides of the ribs. Place on a large foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Spray a large sheet of tin foil with cooking spray, enough to cover all ribs. Brush 1½ cups of BBQ sauce all over the ribs, Wrap TIGHTLY with foil. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Bake ribs for 2½ hours, still wrapped in the foil.
  • Unwrap the foil, brush ribs with remaining ¾ cup barbecue sauce, and broil for about 5 minutes to caramelize the barbecue sauce.

Notes

How to choose baby back ribs. When you are shopping for a good slab of ribs, look for an even layer of meat across the whole rack. Avoid racks with “shiners” (exposed bone). Read the package label and avoid enhanced cuts—“enhanced” means it has been pumped with water and salt.
