Finger-Licking Good Ribs!

Finger-looking-good RIBS

This recipe was inspired by another Jersey shore cooking contest that my daughter Emily made. She won first prize that year and I decided I too would give it a whirl, Sometimes my daughters learn recipes from me and sometimes (not too often) I learn recipes from them.

1 package of pork ribs

½ cup of BBQ Sauce

Dry Rub Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of salt

½ tbsp of pepper

¼ tsp. of cayenne

½ tsp. dry mustard

1 tsp. of granulated garlic

1 tsp. of onion powder

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Combine ingredients for dry-rub in a small bowl, stir together. Sprinkle half the rub on one side of the ribs, flip over and sprinkle the other half on the ribs. Prepare baking pan or cookie sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray or you can use a disposable foil tray (easier clean-up here). Place ribs in your tray cook in preheated oven for 3 hours turning one time at the half-way point. After 3 hours, use ½ cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (ours is Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce) spread each side of ribs with ¼ cup of BBQ sauce, return to oven for one more hour. Ribs should be so tender that the meat falls off the bone.

Enjoy and get ready to lick your fingers!
