How Do You Make Dry-Rubbed Oven-Baked Spare Ribs?

1. 1

   Preheat and prep

   Preheat the oven to 300°F. Remove the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs.

2. 2

   Apply the rub

   Mix all dry spices and brown sugar together and rub generously over both sides of each rack, pressing to adhere.

3. 3

   Wrap tightly

   Wrap each rack tightly in two layers of foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet, bone-side down.

4. 4

   Bake low and slow

   Bake for 2.5 hours, until the ribs are very tender and the meat has pulled back from the bones.

5. 5

   Unwrap and glaze

   Carefully open the foil, drain excess liquid, and brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce.

6. 6

   Broil to finish

   Broil for 5-7 minutes, watching closely, until the sauce is bubbly and slightly charred at the edges.

7. 7

   Rest and slice

   Let rest 10 minutes before cutting between the bones and serving.
