1 rack of back ribs
Dry Rub Mix (recipe below)
Sweet Baby Ray’s chicken and rib barbecue sauce (any jar will do)
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 drops liquid smoke
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soya sauce or Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
- Remove silverskin from back side of ribs.
- Liberally use dry rub all over both sides of the ribs using your hands to rub the spice into the meat.
- Wrap the rib rack in foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Cook on 275 for two hours. Remove from oven and drain any grease.
- Add more rub to front and back of ribs and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Set oven to broil and broil ribs on both sides for 2-3 minutes each.
- Mix all barbecue sauce ingredients together and baste one side of ribs. Broil for another 2-3 minutes. Flip ribs to other side and add sauce. Broil for another 2-3 minutes until crispy.
Dry Rub:

1.5 tbls onion powder

1 tbls salt
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne
