Ingredients:
2 racks of pork ribs (about 3-4 lbs each)
2 tablespoons of garlic powder
2 tablespoons of onion powder
2 tablespoons of smoked paprika
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce
Directions:
Preparation: Begin by removing the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, and pepper together to make your dry rub.
Apply the Rub: Generously apply the dry rub to both sides of the ribs, making sure they are well-coated.
Pre-Cook: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 2-3 hours until they are tender but not falling apart.
Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Remove the ribs from the foil and slather them with barbecue sauce. Grill the ribs for 10-15 minutes on each side, applying more sauce as you flip them. Ensure they get a nice char and the sauce caramelizes.
Rest and Serve: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting into individual servings. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side and your favorite summer sides.
These classic BBQ ribs are a guaranteed way to capture the essence of summer in every bite. The rich, deep flavors of the barbecue combined with the tender, juicy meat make for a truly unforgettable meal that’s perfect for any summer event.
