Ingredients You Will Need

To prepare our signature BBQ Dry Rub Ribs Recipe, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 racks of pork ribs
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
  • Your favorite BBQ sauce (for glazing)

Preparation Steps

Follow these simple steps to make the best BBQ Dry Rub Ribs:

  1. Preheat your grill or smoker: Set your grill to a low heat (225°F to 250°F). If you’re using an oven, preheat it to 300°F.
  2. Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better tenderness and seasoning absorption.
  3. Make the dry rub: In a bowl, combine salt, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. This is your magic dust.
  4. Season the ribs: Generously sprinkle the dry rub all over the ribs, massaging it into the meat for maximum flavor.

Cooking Your Ribs

Once seasoned, it’s time to cook your ribs:

  1. Indirect grilling: Place the ribs bone-side down on the grill away from direct heat. Close the lid and let them cook for 3 to 4 hours. Add wood chips for a smoky flavor if desired.
  2. Oven method: Wrap the ribs in foil and place them in the oven. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours. Unwrap and brush with BBQ sauce for the last 30 minutes for a sticky glaze.
  3. Smoker cooking: If using a smoker, maintain a steady temperature and smoke for about 4 to 5 hours, adding wood chips as necessary.

Tips for Perfectly Tender Ribs

Achieving that perfectly tender texture is easy when you follow the right steps:

  • Low and slow is the key: Cooking at a lower temperature over a longer period helps break down the collagen in the meat.
  • Wrap your ribs: For extra tenderness, consider wrapping them in foil (the Texas Crutch) after a couple of hours.
  • Let them rest: Allow the ribs to rest for 10-15 minutes after removing them from heat. This helps retain moisture.
  • Experiment with flavors: Feel free to tweak the rub ingredients to suit your taste, adding herbs or spices you prefer!

Serving Suggestions

To serve your BBQ ribs, slice between the bones and arrange them on a platter. Pair with:

  • Classic coleslaw for a refreshing crunch.
  • Potato salad for a hearty side.
  • Grilled vegetables for added flavor and color.
  • A selection of your favorite dipping sauces and condiments.
