Ingredients

• 2 racks Baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the thin membrane from the back of each rack of ribs by gently sliding a knife under it and peeling it off.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring an even coating on both sides.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs and rub it in to help the spices adhere.

Step 6

Wrap each rack of ribs in aluminum foil, sealing them tightly to lock in moisture.

Step 7

Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.

Step 8

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them (they will be hot and steamy).

Step 9

Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over both sides of the ribs.

Step 10

Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

Step 11

For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil and broil the ribs for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 12

Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones and serving with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
