These BBQ Dry Rub Ribs are a true treat for your taste buds. The dry rub seasoning infuses the meat with a flavorful blend of spices, creating tender and succulent ribs that are perfect for your next barbecue or family dinner. The secret to this recipe is letting the ribs marinate in the dry rub overnight, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat and make it incredibly tender and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 racks of pork baby back ribs
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together all the dry rub ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  2. Rub the dry rub mixture generously all over the ribs, covering them on all sides. Place the ribs in a resealable plastic bag or a covered dish, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for about 2 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender and cooked through.
  4. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious BBQ Dry Rub Ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce and sides.
  5. Note: You can also cook the ribs in the oven by baking them at 300°F for 2-3 hours, then finishing them on the grill for that perfect smoky flavor.
