Ingredients for Guy S Righteous Ribs

  • Pork Spareribs
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Kosher Salt
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Ground Cloves

How to Make Guy S Righteous Ribs

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Trim excess fat and sinew from the country-style ribs.
  3. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs using a butter knife or your fingers and discard.
  4. In a mixing bowl, prepare the dry rub by combining: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
  5. Prepare large sheets of heavy-duty foil (one for each rack of ribs).
  6. Place one rack of ribs on each sheet of foil.
  7. Divide the dry rub evenly between the racks of ribs, generously rubbing it into both sides of the meat.
  8. Fold the foil over to create a sealed pouch around each rack of ribs, ensuring the meat side is down.
  9. Place the foil pouches on a roasting tray and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
  10. After 2 hours, carefully open the foil pouches, leaving the ribs exposed.
  11. Turn the ribs over so the meat side is facing up.
  12. Generously brush the top and bottom of the ribs with your favorite root beer BBQ sauce (or your preferred BBQ sauce).
  13. Continue cooking for 1 1/2 hours with the foil open, basting occasionally with the sauce.
  14. The ribs are done when they are tender, and the meat has shrunk back slightly from the bones.
  15. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5-10 minutes, then cut into portions and serve with extra BBQ sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
