Ingredients
  

  • 2 Racks pork baby back ribs or 4 pounds spareribs
  • 3/4 tbsp Paprika (or smoked paprika, if you have it)
  • 3/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (add more for a spicier flavor)
  • 3/4 tbsp Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Ground black (or white pepper)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Trim the ribs of excess fat and membrane. The night before, you can cut slashes on each side of the rack if you want to speed up the cooking time.
  • Rub the dry rub onto the ribs, making sure to coat them thoroughly.
  • I suggest doing this before cutting your racks in half so that you have an entire shelf of rubbed-down ribs ready to go into your oven!
  • Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with foil and place the ribs on top of your baking sheet has sides.
  • Place ribs to stand up perpendicular to the edge of the pan.
  • Cook at 200 degrees for about an hour and a half, occasionally checking if you can handle the smell.
  • If they aren't tender enough after that time has passed, then check them every half hour or so until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  • To finish the ribs: Preheat the oven to broil on high heat. Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush with BBQ sauce. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, so they don't burn.
