Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 racks baby back pork ribs (about 4 lbs)
  
  

• 2 tbsp brown sugar
  
  

• 1 tbsp paprika
  
  

• 1 tbsp garlic powder
  
  

• 1 tbsp onion powder
  
  

• 1 tsp black pepper
  
  

• 1 tsp salt
  
  

• 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
  
  

• 1/2 tsp cayenne (for heat, optional)
  
  

• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
   
   

2. Prep Ribs:
   Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip. Pat dry with paper towels.
   
   

3. Make Dry Rub:
   In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and spices.
   
   

4. Rub Ribs:
   Generously coat the ribs on both sides with the dry rub. Let sit at room temp for 15–20 minutes.
   
   

5. Wrap & Bake:
   Wrap ribs tightly in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 2.5 hours.
   
   

6. Grill Finish (Optional but Best):
   Preheat grill to medium-high. Unwrap ribs, slather with BBQ sauce, and grill for 10–15 minutes, turning and brushing with more sauce until slightly charred.
   
   

7. Rest & Serve:
   Let ribs rest for 10 minutes. Slice between the bones and serve with extra sauce.
