Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs country-style pork ribs
  • 2 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt - more or less to taste
  • 2 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon sweet paprika or smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper more or less to taste
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce your favorite brand

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F.
  • Add the coarse sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, sweet paprika, and brown sugar to a small bowl and mix well to combine the seasonings.
  • Season the ribs liberally with the dry rub.
  • Place the seasoned ribs in a baking dish or on a foil lined sheet pan fatty side up.
  • Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it on the center rack of the preheated oven. Cook the ribs for 2 - 2 ¼ hours or until a meat thermometer reads 195-205 degrees F.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and very carefully remove the foil covering from the pan.
  • Give the ribs a generous coating of barbecue sauce and return the ribs to the oven uncovered for another 30 minutes.
    If you like a crisp caramelized exterior, place the ribs under the broiler for 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and brush with barbecue sauce.

Notes

Cooking time will vary depending upon how big the ribs are.  Smaller ribs will take less time and larger ribs will take longer to cook.
