Ingredients
  

  • 2 racks pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: Barbecue sauce for dipping

Equipment

  • Grill or Oven
  • Baking Sheet and Foil
  • Paper Towels
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
  2. Peel off the thin membrane on the back of the ribs using a butter knife and paper towel for grip.
  3. In a small bowl, mix all the dry rub ingredients.
  4. Generously sprinkle the rub over both sides of the ribs, pressing it in.
  5. Let the ribs sit with the rub for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. If grilling, set to low heat and cook the ribs indirectly for about 2.5 to 3 hours.
  7. If using an oven, preheat to 275°F and place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil, covering them tightly with more foil.
  8. Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the heat.
  9. Brush on a light layer of barbecue sauce if desired, and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
