How to Make Jim's Don T Spare The Spareribs Ribs

**BBQ Sauce Prep (Night Before):** In a saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce ingredients (see below). Simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
**Chill the Sauce:** Refrigerate the BBQ sauce overnight.
**Spice Rub Prep (Night Before):** In a bowl, combine the spice rub ingredients (see below). Mix well.
**Initial Spice Rub:** Pat approximately 1/3 of the spice rub onto both sides of the rib slabs.
**Refrigerate Ribs:** Refrigerate the rubbed ribs overnight.
**Second Spice Rub:** 5 hours before dinner, remove ribs from the refrigerator. Sprinkle about half of the remaining spice rub on both sides.
**Rest at Room Temperature:** Let ribs sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
**Warm the Sauce:** Take the BBQ sauce out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
**Preheat Oven:** Preheat oven to 200-225°F (93-107°C).
**Bake the Ribs:** Place ribs on a large baking sheet (or multiple sheets if needed) and bake for 4 hours.
**Beer Baste (Optional):** If ribs look dry, baste them with a little beer (about 1/4 cup).
**Mid-Bake Spice Rub:** About halfway through cooking, sprinkle the remaining spice rub over the ribs.
**BBQ Sauce Glaze:** 45 minutes before the ribs are done, brush generously with BBQ sauce.
**Final Sauce:** Once ribs are done, baste with more sauce if desired.
**Rest and Serve:** Let ribs rest for 10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs or half-slabs. Serve with extra sauce and plenty of napkins!
