Ingredients
  

For the dry rub
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds Baby back ribs
  • 1/2 cup Barbecue sauce (optional) For glazing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
  3. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the ribs in a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
  2. If desired, remove the ribs from the oven, brush with barbecue sauce, and broil for an additional 5-10 minutes for a caramelized finish.
  3. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For maximum flavor, prepare the dry rub the night before. You can also switch the barbecue sauce for a spicy Asian glaze for variation.
