Preparation Method Steps:
- Prepare the Ribs: Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a knife.
- Make the Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine all the dry rub ingredients and mix well. Rub the ribs generously with the dry rub and let them rest for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- Make the BBQ Sauce: In a saucepan, combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until thickened.
- Cook the Ribs: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and fall-off-the-bone.
- Glaze the Ribs: Remove the ribs from the oven and brush them generously with the BBQ sauce. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with Honey-Butter (see recipe below), additional BBQ sauce, and green onions.
