Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Combine all dry spices in a small bowl and mix until even.
- Lay the ribs meat-side up on a sheet of heavy foil. Pierce the back of the rack several times with a knife so flavors penetrate.
- Generously rub the dry coating over all sides of the rack; press the rub into the meat so it sticks.
- Flip the rack meat-side down and fold the foil over to seal tightly. Transfer the wrapped ribs to a skillet.
Baking
- Place the skillet in the hot oven and bake for about 2 hours, until the meat feels tender.
- After 2 hours, take the ribs out and let them rest, still wrapped, for 15 minutes. Increase the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Open the foil and carefully drain any accumulated juices or fat and discard them. Brush barbecue sauce generously all over the rack.
- Place the rack meat-side up on a wire rack on a baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Remove and brush more sauce on the meat side, repeating the brushing and baking four more times for about 50 minutes total.
Serving
- Slice between the bones into individual ribs and serve with extra sauce.
Notes
For a smokier edge, try methods from roadhouse ribs. If desired, substitute chipotle with smoked paprika for a milder flavor. Ensure not to oversauce too early to prevent burning.
