By Culiora

Tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs slow-cooked to perfection, then glazed and finished with a smoky, tangy BBQ sauce. An ultimate crowd-pleaser for any gathering.

• Servings: 4
• Prep time: 20 min
• Cook time: 180 min
• Total time: 200 min

Ingredients

• 1.5 kg Pork spare ribs or baby back ribs
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs (if present) by gently peeling it off with a paper towel.
3. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
4. Rub the spice mixture generously all over both sides of the ribs.
5. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil, or in a large roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil.
6. Slow cook in the oven for 2.5-3 hours, or until very tender. The exact time depends on the thickness of the ribs.
7. Remove ribs from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) or preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
8. Brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven (uncovered) for 15-20 minutes, or grill for 5-10 minutes, flipping once, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
9. Let ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
