Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F.
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs, covering both sides.
Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil and place the seasoned ribs on it. Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, creating a sealed packet. Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender. Check for doneness by ensuring the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
OPTIONAL:
If you want to add a smoky flavor and a nice char, you can finish the ribs on a preheated grill. Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce and grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with more sauce.
Once done, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
