Oven Roasted Country Style Ribs

 

6 lbs. country-style pork ribs

Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper, to taste

4 teaspoons light brown sugar

4 teaspoons chili powder

4 teaspoons sweet paprika or smoked paprika

4 teaspoons garlic powder

4 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 cups barbecue sauce

 

Preheat the oven to 250°F.

Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, sweet paprika, cumin and brown sugar to a small bowl and mix well to combine.

Season the ribs liberally with the dry rub.

Place the seasoned ribs in a baking dish or on a foil lined sheet pan fatty side up.

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it on the center rack of the preheated oven. Cook the ribs for 2 – 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 195-205 degrees F.

Remove the pan from the oven and carefully remove the foil.

Give the ribs a generous coating of barbecue sauce and return the ribs to the oven uncovered for another 30 minutes.

If you like them crisp, place the ribs under the broiler for 3-5 minutes.

Remove the ribs from the oven and brush with more barbecue sauce and dig in!
