I almost didn't want to share this ribs recipe because this is one of the dishes that I make that keep my sons coming back home! These can be done with baby back or regular pork ribs. I have also made split chickens this way. The ribs are tender, moist and just slide off of the bone. I know that your family will love them just as much as my

This method is awesome! For those trying to find the hickory smoked salt, the brand I use is "Spice Islands" they have it some of my local grocery stores, but it is available online too.

Ingredients

4 lbs pork ribs
3⁄4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon hickory smoke salt (I used liquid smoke and it was great!)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1⁄2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce (mine is Sweet Baby Ray) (I prefer brands without High Fructose Corn Syrup but my family does like Sweet Baby Rays.)

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees f.
Peel off tough membrane that covers the bony side of the ribs. Using a dry paper towel will help with this process. It was mentioned that Costco ribs already have it removed.
Mix together the sugar and spices to make the rub.
Apply rub to ribs on all sides.
Lay ribs on two layers of foil, shiny side out and meaty side down.
Lay two layers of foil on top of ribs and roll and crimp edges tightly, edges facing up to seal.
Place on baking sheet and bake for 2-2 1/2 hours or until meat is starting to shrink away from the ends of the bone. (I baked mine for 2 hours, turned off the oven and left them in there for almost 2 more hours. They fell off the bone! They were yummy. I didn't do that on purpose I just had to leave so I turned the oven off and left them in their warming I guess)

Remove from oven.
Heat broiler.
Cut ribs into serving sized portions of 2 or 3 ribs.
Arrange on broiler pan, bony side up.
Brush on sauce.
Broil for 1 or 2 minutes until sauce is cooked on and bubbly.
Turn ribs over.
Repeat on other side.
Alternately, you can grill the ribs on your grill to cook on the sauce.
