Delicious baby back pork ribs coated in a flavorful dry rub and barbecue sauce, perfect for family gatherings. Easy to prepare with a special technique for removing the membrane, and can be cooked in the oven or on the grill.
1: To make the rub, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
2: Prep the ribs by removing the shiny silver membrane on the concave side.
3: Rub the ribs all over with lemon juice and coat with the dry rub mixture.
4: Wrap the ribs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
5: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) with the rack in the middle.
6: Line a large baking pan with foil, place ribs meat-side down, and cover with foil.
7: Bake for 2 hours 30 minutes.
8: Preheat the grill, remove the ribs from the oven, and pour off the liquid.
9: Brush barbecue sauce all over the ribs and place them directly on the grill grates.
10: Turn and baste with additional sauce for an additional 10 minutes.
11: If you don't have a grill, finish off the ribs in the oven on broil for about 5 minutes per side.
