Instructions
To prepare the ribs:
- Pre-heat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- If your ribs have a thin membrane, over the bones on the backside, remove by carefully sliding a knife under membrane and then peel it away.
- In a small bowl stir together brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, mustard powder, and cayenne.
- Rub mixture all over ribs and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Cover with foil and bake until very tender, 2 hours.
To prepare the BBQ sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine all sauce ingredients together.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, around 1 hour.
To bake the ribs:
- Turn oven to broil.
- Remove foil from ribs and brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
- Broil until sauce just starts to caramelize, 2 to 4 minutes.
