Preparation:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). The low and slow cooking method will ensure tender, flavorful ribs.
- Prepare the Ribs:
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This can be done by sliding a knife under the membrane and lifting it away from the bones.
- Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Create the Dry Rub:
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful dry rub.
- Apply the Dry Rub:
- Rub the dry rub generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring an even coating. Place the ribs on a baking sheet.
- Wrap in Foil:
- Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil. This helps to lock in moisture and flavor during the cooking process.
