Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off carefully.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel, then rub them with olive oil. Generously apply the dry rub over both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat.
Wrap the racks of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring there are no leaks. Place them on a baking sheet with the curved side facing up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven, then unwrap and discard the foil.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use your oven's broiler if you don’t have a grill.
Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.
Grill the ribs for 5–8 minutes per side, or until the barbecue sauce is caramelized and slightly charred, but watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.
Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side and your favorite accompaniments, such as coleslaw or cornbread.
