Ingredients

• 3 lbs pork ribs
• 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp cayenne
• 2 tsp ground mustard
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce

Method

1. Heat the oven to 300°F with a rack in the centre, trim excess fat from the pork ribs, even out the thick end, and peel the membrane from the back of the rack.
2. Line a deep sheet pan with foil, set a rack in the pan, place the ribs on the rack, and pat the meat dry.
3. Mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, ground mustard and melted butter into a rub and coat the meaty top of the ribs thickly with it.
4. Pour the chicken broth into the pan without pouring it over the ribs, lower the oven to 250°F, and bake the ribs uncovered for 30 minutes.
5. Cover the ribs with foil and bake them for 60 minutes more, rotating the pan halfway through that covered hour.
6. Uncover the ribs, brush them with 1 cup of the BBQ sauce, and bake them for about 30 minutes more, until the meat pulls easily from the bone.
7. Brush the ribs with the remaining 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce and broil them for a few minutes until lightly charred, rest them for 15 minutes, then cut and serve the rack.
