Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Country-style pork ribs
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dry rub.

Step 3

Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels, then rub the olive oil all over the ribs to help the seasoning adhere.

Step 4

Generously coat the ribs with the dry rub, ensuring all sides are evenly covered.

Step 5

Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 7

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil. Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on all sides.

Step 8

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the barbecue sauce is caramelized and sticky.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side and your favorite sides, like coleslaw or cornbread.
