Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.
  2. Remove the tough membrane from the back of the ribs. Place the ribs meaty side up on the lined baking sheet.
  3. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cumin, and optional chili powder. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the ribs, then drizzle olive oil over them.
  4. Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours until the meat pulls away from the bones.
  5. Prepare your barbecue sauce mixture by blending barbecue sauce, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and optional cayenne pepper.
  6. Remove the foil, coat the ribs with barbecue sauce, and increase the oven temperature to 460°F (240°C).
  7. Bake the ribs uncovered for 10 minutes, then switch to broil mode for about 3 minutes.
  8. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
