- Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C) with a rack positioned in the middle.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub seasoning.

Tips
- Bring Ribs to Room Temperature: Allowing the pork ribs to sit out for about 30 minutes before cooking helps them cook evenly and enhances the flavor absorption of the dry rub.
- Don’t Skip the Dry Rub: The combination of brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper creates a flavorful crust that enhances the natural taste of the ribs. Be generous with the rub and massage it into the meat for maximum flavor.
- Seal in the Moisture: Wrapping the ribs tightly in aluminum foil is essential for keeping them juicy during the long cooking process. This step ensures that they cook slowly and evenly, resulting in tender, succulent meat.
- Perfect the BBQ Sauce: After the initial cooking, don’t rush the final step! The caramelization of the BBQ sauce at a higher temperature is what gives the ribs that irresistible sticky glaze. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Let Them Rest: After baking, let the ribs rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring that every bite is as juicy and flavorful as possible.
- Serve with Extra Sauce: Always have extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. It adds an extra layer of flavor and allows everyone to customize their ribs to their liking.
