Smoky, tender BBQ pork ribs, glazed to perfection.

These Rubbed Barbecue Pork Ribs are a celebration of smoky, tender perfection. Each rack, seasoned with a robust blend of brown sugar, paprika, and spices, grills to succulent tenderness, enhanced by a caramelized barbecue sauce glaze. The meat, slowly cooked over medium heat, achieves a mouthwatering balance of savory and sweet flavors. Serve alongside classic sides like creamy coleslaw, cornbread with honey butter, or grilled corn on the cob for a quintessential barbecue feast. Whether enjoyed at a backyard gathering or a family dinner, these ribs promise a finger-licking experience that captures the essence of summer grilling.

Ingredients

• 2 racks of pork ribs
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)

Directions

1. Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Make the rub: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Apply the rub: Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Prep oven and the ribs: Preheat your oven to low heat (around 275°F). Wrap the ribs in foil and place the ribs bone-side down in a pan.
5. Cook the ribs: Cook the ribs for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones. Optionally, you can use a grill or smoker for added flavor.
6. BBQ the ribs: Heat the grill to medium high (around 325°F to around 350°F) and brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce and grill for 15-30 minutes, flipping and basting with more sauce midway.
7. Serve: Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
