By CS Coleman, 24 September, 2025
Ingredients
1 lf Baby Back Pork Loin (rack)
1⁄4 c Smoked paprika (DRY RUB)
1 T Brown Sugar (DRY RUB)
2 t Salt (DRY RUB)
1⁄2 T Black Pepper (DRY RUB)
2 t Chili powder (DRY RUB)
1 T Onion powder (DRY RUB)
1 T Garlic Powder (DRY RUB)
1⁄2 t Mustard Powder (DRY RUB optional Sweet Savory Balance)
1⁄2 t Cayenne pepper (DRY RUB)
1⁄2 c BBQ Sauce
1⁄2 t Cumin
1 t Crushed Red Pepper
1⁄2 t Celery Salt (optional Sweet Savory Balance)
1⁄4 t Cinnamon (optional Sweet Savory Balance)
1⁄2 t Coriander (Optional earthy balance, ground seeds ie)
1⁄4 t Cocoa powder (Optional earthy balance)

Pre-heat the oven to 275° F. 

RINSE and pat the ribs dry with a paper towel. Remove the silver skin membrane from the underside. 

Coat the ribs with the DRY RUB. It's not necessary, but if you have time, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight to enhance flavor.

Prepare oven safe baking dish, or baking sheet with a lite coating of cooking spray.  Wrap the ribs in foil, completely sealing the edges tightly to create a packet. 

COOK in the oven for about 2-3 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the meat pulls back from the bone and becomes fork tender. Continue cooking until the bone gives easily when pulled (up to 4 hours for larger rack of ribs). 

Peel back the foil and discard any juices. BASTE the ribs with BBQ sauce.

OPTIONAL:

To slightly char the top, BROIL (or grill, etc) for 5 minutes, uncovered.  Make sure there is plenty of space, at least 6 inches, between the broiler flame and the meat.  Repeat, adding an extra layer of BBQ sauce, if desired.
