2

Season the ribs with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all sides are well coated.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Allow the ribs to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.

4

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender, but not falling off the bone.

⏱️ 180 min (ish) 🌡️ 300°F

AI Wisdom: Ribs should have a slight 'give' when twisted.

AI Wisdom: Get the grill nice and hot for a good sear.
6

Brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce on all sides.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

7

Grill the ribs for 3-4 minutes per side, basting with more BBQ sauce as needed, until charred and caramelized.

⏱️ 8 min (ish) 🌡️ medium-high

AI Wisdom: Watch for flare-ups and adjust heat as necessary.
8

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)
