Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika (optional for extra smokiness)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix all spices together until well combined.
- Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs if not already done.
- Generously rub the spice mixture over both sides of the ribs, pressing it in to coat evenly.
- Wrap ribs tightly in foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.
- Optional: Unwrap and broil or bake at 425°F for 10 minutes to caramelize the crust.
Notes
- This rub can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
- Great for pork or beef ribs, and even works on chicken or roasted veggies.
- For a sweeter finish, brush ribs with BBQ sauce during the last 15 minutes of baking.
