Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by removing the silver skin from the back of your pork ribs; this ensures tenderness and better flavor absorption.
  2. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a delicious rub. Generously apply this mixture over both sides of the ribs.
  3. Set your oven to preheat at 275°F (135°C). Consider wrapping the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil.
  4. Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and slide them into the preheated oven. Allow them to bake for 2.5 to 3 hours.
  5. Carefully unwrap the foil and brush your favorite barbecue sauce over the top. Set your oven to broil and return the ribs for about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving. Slice between the bones, optionally garnishing with fresh parsley or chopped green onions.

Notes

Ensure you fully remove the silver skin from the ribs before seasoning for maximized tenderness. Wrap ribs tightly in foil to keep them juicy during baking. Watch closely while broiling to avoid burning the glaze.
