The Absolute Best Fall-Off-the-Bone Baby Back Ribs
Author: Crystal Cartier
Recipe type: Entrée
Cuisine: Pork, Meat, Grilling
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon orange peel powder or 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest (use a microplane to fine grate)
- 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
- 4 pounds baby back ribs
- your favorite barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Cut each whole rack in half and tear off aluminum foil sheets big enough to enclose each half rack. Peel membrane off the back of the rib with a butter knife and a paper towel.
- Mix up dry rub and apply liberally massage into both sides of meat.
- Enclose each half rack separately and tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Put ribs (still tightly enclosed in foil) on a baking sheet (they drip like crazy) and bake at 300 degrees for 2-1/2 hour.
- After baking you can either refrigerate until ready to grill or put them right on the grill. Once ready to grill, slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and grill at a medium heat for about 5-10 min per side or until sauce is a little bubbly and they are charred they way you like. Don’t leave them on for too long or they’ll dry out.
ENJOY!
