Ingredients

• 2 racks Pork ribs
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the dry rub by mixing together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.

Step 3

Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs for better seasoning and tenderness. Use a knife to loosen one corner of the membrane, then grab it with a paper towel and pull it off completely.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the ribs with olive oil to help the dry rub adhere.

Step 5

Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the prepared dry rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks.

Step 6

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the edges to create a packet. Place the wrapped ribs on a large baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

Step 8

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil packets. Brush both sides of the ribs with barbecue sauce.

Step 9

For a finishing touch, place the ribs on a grill preheated to medium-high heat or under your oven's broiler. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, flipping once and brushing with more barbecue sauce, until the sauce is caramelized and slightly charred.

Step 10

Transfer the finished ribs to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Step 11

Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side, and enjoy!
