Ingredients
  

  • 1 rack of pork spare ribs around 2 lbs
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the dry rub for the pork spare ribs. In a small bowl combine the spices and stir until well combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Trim the rack of spare ribs from excess fat and pat dry with a paper towel. Peel off the membrane from the ribs using a knife or paper towel.
  • Rub the dry rub mixture over the pork ribs and let the rub marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Place the marinated pork spare ribs onto the baking sheet and cover with another sheet of aluminum foil. Seal well then place in the oven and cook for 2 hours. This cooking time is longer than a politician's speech, but way more rewarding!
  • After 2 hours, unwrap the cover and check the meat for tenderness. Brush the pork ribs with the barbecue sauce on both sides and cook uncovered for another 30 minutes, roughly the same amount of time your teenager spends in the shower these days.
  • Transfer the cooked pork spare ribs to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice the ribs. Brush with some additional barbecue sauce and serve warm. Enjoy!
