½ tbsp of cayenne pepper (if you like it hot), less or none if you prefer sweet
1-3 tbsp. Chili powder
Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce (or your favorite sauce)
Note: if you have Epicure burger seasoning, you can combine 2-3 tbsp of this with brown sugar, salt and pepper, and omit the remaining spices above.
Instructions
) Combine the dry rub ingredients in a bowl and sift them together.
) Rub both sides of the rack of ribs and gently rub the spices into the meat.
) Place rubbed rack of ribs on the slotted top of a broiler pan. Put a small amount of water in the bottom of the broiler pan. Cover tightly with foil.
) Preheat oven to 250. Cook the ribs low and slow for the first 2½ hours and leave them tightly covered.
) After 2½ hours, uncover and put sauce on the ribs. Then raise the oven temp. to 350, and cook uncovered for 20 more minutes. For the last five or ten minutes either BBQ or broil the sauced ribs just to crisp the sauce coating. Be careful to watch and not to burn them as the sugar in the sauce will quickly blacken.
) Cut into sections and serve.
