Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients.
  2. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  3. Pat dry the ribs with a paper towel and remove the membrane on the back of the ribs.
  4. Generously sprinkle the rub on both sides of the ribs, pressing gently to adhere the rub.
  5. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 275°F to 300°F).
  7. Place the ribs on the grill, bone-side down.
  8. Cover the grill and cook for 2 hours, maintaining a steady temperature.
  9. After 2 hours, wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and return to the grill.
  10. Cook for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.
  11. Remove the ribs from the foil and place them directly on the grill to firm up the crust.
  12. Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  13. Once done, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  14. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot.
