Seasoned with a spicy, Texas-style rub and packed in brown sugar, these ribs can be grilled low and slow or oven-roasted. Whichever way you pick, they're like candy on a bone.
Ingredients
- 1 rack baby back ribs or St. Louis spareribs, membrane removed
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
Preparation
Lay out ribs on a work surface.
Combine all spices except brown sugar in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture generously onto ribs, coating both sides evenly, then let rest for 15 minutes. Pack brown sugar onto ribs and let rest for 4 hours.
After resting, barbecue, rotisserie or oven-roast ribs at 300°F for 2½ hours, making sure the internal temperature reaches 165ºF and the meat pulls away from the bones easily before serving.
