Baby back ribs are a tender rack of ribs and with a simple dry rub they are cooked to perfection! BBQ sauce is added at the end for the best flavor and texture.
In a prep bowl mix together the dry rub ingredients and set aside.
2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon cayenne
Remove ribs from package and do a quick rinse. Pat them dry and remove membrane if you are going to remove it (optional.)
4 pounds baby back rib
Evenly and generously coat the ribs with the dry rub - both sides all over. Set aside for about 15 minutes.
Heat your grill to 350° Fahrenheit leaving the middle burner off for indirect cooking.
Place the ribs bone side down over the middle burner that is off and close the lid to the grill. Cook for 40 minutes without lifting lid.
Flip the ribs, close the lid and cook for 10 minutes.
Brush BBQ sauce over the bone side (should be facing up) and cook 10 minutes.
Flip and brush BBQ sauce all over the meat side (should be facing up now) and cook for another 10 minutes.
Remove the ribs from the grill when the temperature is reading between 145° and 150° Fahrenheit in the meat - be sure not to touch the bones.Allow to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing in between the bones and serving.
