  • These saucy BBQ Ribs are easily prepared ahead of time, boldly flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone tender. You may never make ribs any other way again. ❤❤❤ 💾 Save this post: Ingredients List 👇 2 full racks uncooked ribs, 3-4 lbs each (Baby Back or St. Louis both work well) Dry Rub: ½ cup brown sugar, packed 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika 1 TB kosher salt 1 ½ TB freshly ground black pepper ½ tsp cayenne ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder Sauce: 1 18oz bottle your favorite BBQ sauce, bottled or homemade (we recommend a good quality honey BBQ sauce.) 3 tsp Sriracha, for moderate spice level 1 TB pure honey Instructions Dry Rub: Dry the racks of ribs with paper towels. In a bowl, combine all dry rub ingredients and whisk to combine well. Pat and press dry rub onto both sides of rib racks. Tightly wrap each rack of ribs in foil, individually. Place in a single layer on a large baking sheet and let sit in fridge overnight. Bake: Preheat oven to 325F. Bake foil-wrapped ribs, on baking sheet, for 2 1/2 hours. Cool: Remove ribs, let cool enough to handle, and remove foil. Discard juices. (Ribs can be prepared one day early up to this point; just cover and chill until ready to grill.) Sauce: Make the sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Brush ribs generously with desired amount of BBQ sauce. Ribs will be very tender, so handle carefully. Grill: Place on heated grill for 5-10 minutes per side, or until charred in spots. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice ribs so they don't fall apart (should be fork tender!)
