Dry Rub ▢¼ cup packed brown sugar ▢1½ tablespoons paprika ▢1½ tablespoons black pepper ▢1 tablespoon kosher salt ▢1 teaspoon garlic powder ▢1 teaspoon onion powder ▢¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper Ribs ▢2 pounds pork baby back ribs ▢1 (18-ounce) bottle barbecue sauce, divided
Combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne to make a dry rub.
Remove the clear membrane from the underside of ribs, in preparation for dry rub. Rub your dry rub gently onto both sides of the ribs. Place on a large foil-lined baking sheet.
Spray a large sheet of tin foil with cooking spray, enough to cover all ribs. Brush 1½ cups of BBQ sauce all over the ribs, Wrap TIGHTLY with foil. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300°F. Bake ribs for 2½ hours, still wrapped in the foil.
Unwrap the foil, brush ribs with remaining ¾ cup barbecue sauce, and broil for about 5 minutes to caramelize the barbecue sauce.
