1 rack ribs *Note 2
1 cup barbecue sauce

1 rack ribs, ½ tbsp kosher salt, ½ tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp black pepper, ½ tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp paprika
Wrap tight with aluminum foil, placing the meat side face up. Bake for 2 hours for baby back ribs or 3 hours for spare ribs.
Carefully open the foil wrapping and drain the excess liquid. Evenly coat the ribs with the barbecue sauce.
1 cup barbecue sauce
Set the oven to broil and bake for a final 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure the sauce doesn't burn.
Let the ribs cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra BBQ sauce and enjoy.

Notes

Note 1 - This recipe uses a small batch of my homemade BBQ Rub, but any store bought BBQ rub will work.

Note 2 - Use spare ribs or baby back ribs. Spare ribs will take 3 hours to cook vs 2 hours for back ribs.
