Equipment

  • Foil
  • Baking Sheet
  • Paper towels
  • Basting/Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 slap baby back ribs
  • ½ cup yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 245°F.
  • Clean the ribs and remove the membrane on the back to ensure a smooth surface.
  • Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.
  • Spread mustard on both sides of the ribs to help tenderize the meat; don’t worry, it won’t taste like mustard.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, white pepper, and paprika on both sides of the ribs, but do not rub them in.
  • Add seasoned salt on top, again, without rubbing it in.
  • Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place them in the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and open the foil.
  • Add brown sugar, honey, and butter to the ribs.
  • Tent the foil over the ribs, ensuring it doesn’t touch the meat.
  • Return the ribs to the oven and cook for an additional hour.
  • If you want to add BBQ sauce, brush it on the ribs, increase the oven temperature to 425°F, and cook for another 10 minutes until the sauce is nice and sticky.
