Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 pounds country style boneless pork ribs
  • ¾ cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined.
  • Place the pork ribs onto a baking sheet or into a baking dish and rub the bbq rub seasoning mixture all over until each pork rib is coated.
  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place into the preheated oven for 2.5 hours. You can also use a Dutch oven.
  • Take the ribs out of the oven and increase the temperature to 350. Remove the foil from the pan and carefully drain the liquid from the pan. Alternatively you can transfer the ribs to a separate baking sheet.
  • Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce and bake for 10 minutes, then brush with more barbecue sauce, and bake for another 10 minutes to get the ribs nice and sticky.
  • Serve with more barbecue sauce if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the ribs at the end of the cooking time and don’t increase the temperature past 350 degrees at the end of the cooking time to make sure they don’t dry out. 
  • Cook low and slow to become truly tender. Bake them covered first to lock in moisture, then uncover to caramelize.
  • To avoid under- or overcooking, check that the ribs reach at least 190°F–200°F for that fall-apart texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven and watch them so they don't dry out.
  • Please double check amounts when using the multiplying feature in the recipe card.
