  1. Remove membrane from back of ribs (slide knife under, grab with paper towel, pull off).
  2. Mix spices for rub. Apply generously to both sides.
  3. Wrap each rack tightly in foil. Place on baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 275°F for 2.5-3 hours until tender and meat pulls back from bones.
  5. Unwrap. Brush with BBQ sauce.
  6. Broil until sauce caramelizes.
  7. Rest . Cut between bones.

Notes

  • Removing membrane is essential.
  • Foil wrap keeps them moist.
  • Broiling gives caramelized finish.
